The Shuttlecock Yellow Owl Buzzer Barbless is an excellent, surface-film midge emerger for stillwater trout. Its shuttlecock profile is designed to hang the body below the surface while the buoyant wing remains in the film, matching the vulnerable stage when an adult midge is breaking free from the pupa.Fish it static or almost static on a floating line, especially when trout are sipping rather than making splashy rises. A light ripple can provide all the movement required. Apply floatant only to the wing so the body continues to hang correctly, and watch the fly or leader carefully because takes can be gentle. A dependable dry that can turn a quiet rise into a memorable take. Show more
