# **How to Choose 6 x Vicar Buzzers – Holo Red Collar – Trout Fishing Flies**
When it comes to trout fishing, selecting the right fly can make all the difference between a successful day on the water and coming home empty-handed. Among the most effective patterns for stillwaters and reservoirs is the **Vicar Buzzer**, particularly the **Holo Red Collar** variant. In this guide, we’ll explore why this fly is a must-have in your tackle box, how to choose the best ones, and tips for maximizing your catch rate.
## **Why Vicar Buzzers?**
Buzzers (or midge pupae) are a staple food source for trout, especially in stillwaters where they hatch in large numbers. The **Vicar Buzzer** is a highly realistic imitation that mimics the natural movement and appearance of these insects. Its key features include:
– **Holographic Red Collar** – Adds a flash of attraction, mimicking the natural gills of a midge pupa.
– **Slim Profile** – Matches the slender shape of real buzzers, making it more convincing to wary trout.
– **Quality Materials** – Durable tying ensures longevity, even after multiple catches.
## **How to Choose the Right Vicar Buzzers**
When selecting **6 x Vicar Buzzers – Holo Red Collar**, consider the following factors:
### **1. Size Matters**
Buzzers come in various sizes (from #10 to #18). For general trout fishing, sizes **#12 and #14** are ideal as they imitate the most common midge pupae. If trout are feeding selectively, having a mix of sizes increases your chances.
### **2. Color Selection**
While the **Holo Red Collar** is a standout feature, the body color should match the natural buzzers in your fishing location. Common effective colors include:
– **Black** (great for low-light conditions)
– **Olive** (ideal for weedy waters)
– **Red** (trout often key in on red buzzers)
### **3. Hook Quality**
Ensure the hooks are **sharp and strong**. A chemically sharpened hook improves hook-up rates, while a fine wire design allows for a more natural sink rate.
### **4. Sink Rate & Weighting**
Some Vicar Buzzers are lightly weighted to help them sink slowly, mimicking a rising pupa. If fishing deeper waters, consider adding a **small split shot** or using a **fast-sinking line** to reach feeding fish.
## **Best Fishing Techniques for Vicar Buzzers**
To get the most out of your **6 x Vicar Buzzers – Holo Red Collar**, try these proven tactics:
### **1. Suspender Rig**
Use a **floating line with a long leader** and fish the buzzer just below the surface. This works well during a hatch when trout are sipping emergers.
### **2. Washing Line Technique**
Set up a team of buzzers under a **booby or indicator fly** to keep them at the desired depth. Adjust the distance between flies based on where fish are feeding.
### **3. Slow Retrieve with Pauses**
A **slow, steady retrieve** with occasional pauses mimics a natural buzzer’s movement. Trout often strike during the pause.
