Buzzer is a name representing the chironomid, a long legged, gnat like insect with a humped thorax, a long abdomen, and wings that are often shorter than its body. Fisherman gave the insect its name "Buzzer" because of the way in which it buzzes around over the surface of the water.
Buzzers are midge pupa and they form the basis of the trout's diet throughout the year. They start their life living in tubes in the mud of the lake bottom as a tiny bloodworm (larval stage) & due to the presence of haemoglobin they are often blood red in colour. When they leave their burrows to feed, trout and other fish species will take them at will - but they are even more greedily gobbled up when they enter their Pupa Stage of life - when the pupa is ready to hatch it will swim close to the surface before hatching out and this is when the Buzzer is most vulnerable.
