Description

The Black Quill Foam Buzzer is a contemporary fly pattern designed to mimic the pupal stage of the Black Quill Mayfly. This subsurface emerger is crafted with a foam thorax cover that ensures it suspends just beneath the surface film, creating a realistic silhouette of an ascending pupa. Ideal for still waters and slow-moving streams, the foam buzzer is particularly effective during hatches when trout are targeting insects in transition. Its simplicity and buoyancy make it a reliable pattern for finicky fish during emergences.

Pro Tip

Suspension Drift: Fish the Black Quill Foam Buzzer on a greased leader near the surface film to create a slow, natural drift. This imitates a pupa trapped just below the surface, a prime feeding target for trout.
