Have the suspender buzzers made it across the water to you yet?
as a pre-emergent

Yes. They work very well on my home waters, tied either with cdc
(preferred) or foam. There is another buzzer that I sometimes use -
the parasol nymph, especially a Pheasant Tail tied with the parasol.
It floats about two inches beneath the surface and can be deadly.

Re, gink: Do not put that or any other floatant on cdc feathers. It
will gum them up and destroy their natural floating ability. A
powdered desiccant is the only thing that will bring the cdc back to
its natural state (other than time.....).
