Description
The UV Buzzer is a signature stillwater fly pattern created by competition angler and Fulling Mill consultant Rob Edmunds. Developed for UK reservoirs and adapted globally, this buzzer-style fly is designed to imitate chironomid pupae with an added UV-reflective twist. Its primary strength lies in its simplicity: a sleek profile paired with a glowing UV body that draws strikes in both bright and low-light conditions. Edmunds crafted this fly for high-pressure waters where subtlety and precision are essential, and its success has made it a staple in stillwater fly boxes across the world.
Pro Tip
Make sure to include several color variants of the UV Buzzer in your fly box—UV reflection, more than hue alone, can trigger strikes. Fish it static under a bung or indicator and let the UV flash do the work, especially during low-light or heavy buzzer activity
