thank you for the comments
ill see what i can do for a step by step
as for fishing its a fly id only use on lakes
as for presentation id fish it two ways for the buzzer hatches id fish it on the top dropper with 2 nymph patterns below. the nymps would be fishing static i.e. naturally like the real buzzer however if i wished to start a faster retrieve id have the movement and translucence of the bibio to attract a trout
second if i was just wetfly fishing it would go on the point or middle dropper and retrieved at various speed through the waves waiting for a trout to strike
i would like to point out i dont do a lot of fishing on lakes i am no expert on methods on the lakes
we are mostly fishing from drifting boats here in ireland
hope this helps
all the best

Duckfly is the same as buzzer or chiromid
it is the first main insect hatch on the irish lake and starts around mid to end of march and into april
it probably got the name duck fly because it emerges around the same time as the first hatches of mallard chicks
the trout feed heavly on the assending pupa which just before emergence turn a brilliant orange colour which dissappears after a few seconds. The colour must be like a beacon to the trout. Hence the creation of this pattern
hope this helps

the fly is tied on an kamasan b160
the hook is a size 12
it is a short shank with a wide gape
i like these type of hooks for extended body flies

looks to be lots of movement in the fly when its swimming
are your flies used for sea run or lake run steelhead
