Absolutely killer fly. I was fortunate enough to meet Alec today at Chatton where he kindly gave me one of these flies. I had 15 fish on it in three hours before losing it - to a fish of course. Can’t wait to start tying some myself when I get home. A real pleasure to meet you Alec and thank you so much for all your help and advice.

This is one of the top flies at Coldingham Loch. I have not tied my own flies for over 50 years. But thanks Alex after this excellent video I will be tying my own top hats now

Getting to be a habit. Another successful day today. While others were struggling on buzzers I tied on a couple of your Top Hat Buzzers in # 16 and had several good rainbows to net. Thanks again.

Great news Len , as long as the trout are feeding on buzzers in the surface film , you will have fantastic sport on the top hat suspender buzzers 👍🎣🐟

Hi Alec, had a good day out last week, your tungsten bleeding buzzer pattern landed me 2 nice fish! Sadly wasn’t a day for the top hat, not a lot of activity on the surface and a bit too much wind. Seemed the fish were deeper. Landed 4 overall so was a nice day out!

Well done Jimmy , yes some days they want the buzzers deeper down , it needs to be the right conditions for them to feed in the surface film 👍🎣🐟

Hi Alec is it just the very top of the foam that is supposed to sit out of the water or all of the foam? Great video 👍

You gink up all the foam and the fly then sits in the surface film 👍

Can't get my tippet to sink no matter what I try it floats any suggestions alec
@alecharveyfishingandflytying

Are you using fluorocarbon tippet ?? Use mud to degrease the tippet from the fly to about 8ft up the tippet, make sure you get no floatant on the tippet next to your fly , You also have an option to use a very small nymph up your tippet , washing line style , this will sink your tippet and also gives you two options to catch , on the dry fly or the nymph 👍🎣🐟
