Geoffry Bucknal's Footballer is a fantastic buzzer imitation dating back to the 1960s. Here, I've substituted the more durable and readily available superhair for the original horse hair but otherwise this is the same deadly stillwater.

These scruffy, lightweight buzzers are really a platform pattern that can be adjusted in size and colour to suit your location.  Fish them high in the water column when fish are feeding on emerging midge.

The Okie Dokie is a great stillwater fly for indicator fishing. Whether fish eat it for a buzzer, a grub or out of aggression/curiosity I don't know, but eat it they do.
