| | Sandy's Blank Buster Collecion Available | The humble midge is one of the most prevelent insects in the trout's environment. Available from the humble buzzer, emerging as a spider them as a mature insect there is no doubt trout love these. Whether lake or river midges in their various stages of their life cycle are an essential part of the trout's diet. Sandy Dickson spent a long time developing his ultra thin buzzers which has even professional tyers intrigued as to the materials and techniques involved in manufacturing these flies. Sandy's Blank Buster Buzzers have created an incredible storm since they were seen in all of the UK fly fishing magazines ln 2009. Great reviews in Trout & Salmon, Fly Fishing and Fly Tying, Total FlyFisher and Trout Fishermen lead to thousands of Sandy's Blank Buster Buzzers being used by fishermen all around the world. These were so successful that Sandy and the team of The Essential Fly spent last year trying different variants of the same flies to match the midge throughout its lifecycle and had a great time and most importantly caught lots of fish!
The result was an industry first, Sandy has developed a range of flies which match the midge from the buzzer stage, through its moving to the surface as a spider, emerging on the surface and finally in klinkhammer form as the adult midge. What is key is Sandy's clever use of fluoro threads and Sandy's Thorax Magic as a backing material which enhances the flies making them truly 'light up' under ultra violet light.
Scarlet | Very effective at dawn, dust or dull days |
| Orange & Yellow | Best on bright days | Green | Coloured water and bad light | Luminious Buzzer & Sparklemet Lumi Buzzers | Best 1 hour before dawn and deadly 1 hour before dusk | Flash Attack Silver Flashback | Use anytime of day | Sandy's Blank Busters have now been put together in a variety of collections including the full 101 fly Blank Buster Collection which contains all of the midge variants in one box, so whatever the situation if there are midges on the lake or river you are fishing then this is the ultimate fly fisherman's collection. The 101 flies include:
Sandy Dickson's complete buzzer range housed in a clearview box. With his revolutionary use of fluorescence Sandy Dickson has created a unique range of buzzers that have taken the fly-fishing world by storm. Designed to imitate every stage of the buzzers lifecycle from lava to adult this range of flies deserves to be in every anglers bag.The life cycles of the buzzer can be imitated with a good degree of accuracy, they hatch out on virtually every day of the year. Some of the hatches will be localised and may not be spotted unless fishing in that area. Buzzer hatches can be spotted, by either looking for the adult fly, or finding the spent pupa bodies (shucks) in the surface film. Sandy's Blank Buster collection includes 96 flies which include every colour variant and size of fly including:
