Hi there, I'm trying to send you a PM. Your message box seems to be full. Tight lines

Look good. Next time I'm in Oregon I'll check them out.

Thanks Guys for all your good advice. This week I bought and used a smallish pimp one evening; caught 4 nice fish. At last, success with a buzzer I think I'll get some 'Loon' wool so in deep water the line will pass thru the eyes. Also the small trout pond I fish has a 'one fly only' rule. So, I can't use a booby as an indicator unless I nip off the hook bend. It does seem 'pimp' fishing is akin to float fishing, but I don't mind; I'm catching trout on buzzers. I expect that's sacrilege to some. But I also do enter the 'dark side' and go carp fishing

I've been a couple of times buzzer fishing now and I see various types of ' indicators' are being used. There seems to be many types/styles of indicators available. I'm primarily bank fishing a 30acre reservoir or 3 acre pond. Which indicator do you recommend; please?

Thanks Gus for your offer of help - much appreciated. Until I've made 15 posts I don't seem to be able to find your e-mail address and that's also why you can't send me a PM. I think this is my 14th post so I'll soon make the 15th and then I'm allowed in to all/some of the secrets Then I'll be in touch. Cheers.

Thanks Tony - that's probably the problem. I'm using an 'old' olive thread out of my fly tying box, not even pre-waxed thread etc. I'll get some nylon thread which is less likely to absorb varnish etc. I'll let you know the result - cheers.

Hi Tony, Just tied another and tried 'Black Spur' superglue still turned olive thread almost black. Perhaps wrong make of super glue? Surely somebody out there knows the answer - please.

Sounds as if this could become very serious. Where fisheries breed and stock their own ponds they will have some natural protection, but:- To help stop the spread of infections generally I think it would be a good idea for ALL trout fisheries to have a 'dip bin' so all anglers can disinfect their landing nets before commencing fishing. Then we must try and persuade every angler to dip their nets etc.

This morning I tied a couple of olive buzzers to take with me this afternoon. After tying I thought ' they look alright'. Then I put on Hard as Nails. Now I've got almost black buzzers. The olive green thread has darkened a lot, I guess by absorbing the HAN. Please tell me how I can stop my olives turning black.

How do I find GlennB's e-mail address as it seems all members list/info is blanked from me I must have been a bad boy - it wasn't me who caught that fish from in front of you

Can't send you a PM, haven't made 15 posts; yet

Thanks Chris for the link. Looks an interesting site

Thanks for that tip Dan. I'm just starting buzzer fishing on the lakes and reservoirs and I've read a lot about bobs/indicators. I like the sheeps wool idea as it's more discreet, saves money and very easy to collect; I live in Wales

They sure sound good. Let's hope Jim Doyle browses the Forum again soon and reads this. I'd be very happy to buy some from him or put a donation in the local charity box. Thanks Sportsman for your responses.

I understand the problem. Some forums I will not join/post on due to the sometimes abusive and rude nature of the postings I don't really know who I contacted . If it was not yourself I apologize; but, please tell me who rec'd my emails. I used the link on the forum error page "Contact the forums administrator" and sent the messages to:- forums@anglersnet.co.uk <forums@anglersnet.co.uk> The messages show as being sent via my email and they have not been bounced nor have I rec'd a reply. How long do you have to wait before having PM approval? Sorry guys to be 'off topic' here but I just want to know the rules etc and it seems open posting here is the only way to make any contact.
