Blakeston Buzzer


 Martin Blakeston's buzzer is an absolutely fantastic lightweight pattern, ideal for straight lining or as a dropper under a bung. I feel it works best when tied as the original rather than with a chunky wound herl thorax.

Materials list Hook: Kamasan B420 size 10-14 Thread: Black Uni 8/0 Back: Pearl tinsel Rib: Fine mono Thorax cover: Peacock herl 

Wing buds: Goose biot or orange glo-brite floss

Partridge & Yellow

  The light partridge and yellow really is a deadly North country spider.
