# **How to Choose BARBLESS Shipman Buzzer, 3 x Orange Barbless Shipmans, Size Choice, Trout Flies**

When it comes to fly fishing for trout, few patterns are as effective and versatile as the **Shipman Buzzer**. This classic stillwater fly imitates midge pupae, a staple in a trout’s diet, making it a must-have in any angler’s fly box. If you’re considering the **BARBLESS Shipman Buzzer**—specifically the **3 x Orange Barbless Shipmans**—this guide will help you choose the right size and understand why this fly is a game-changer for trout fishing.

## **Why Choose the Barbless Shipman Buzzer?**

The **Shipman Buzzer** is designed to mimic the natural movement of midge pupae as they ascend through the water column. Its slim profile, subtle ribbing, and buoyant materials make it irresistible to trout, especially in stillwaters and slow-moving rivers. The **barbless hook** version offers several advantages:

– **Catch-and-Release Friendly** – Barbless hooks minimize harm to fish, making them ideal for ethical angling and fisheries with strict regulations.
– **Better Hook Penetration** – Without a barb, the hook sets more easily, increasing landing rates.
– **Easier Removal** – Quick and safe unhooking reduces stress on the fish and speeds up your fishing process.

The **orange variant** adds extra visibility, making it highly effective in stained water or low-light conditions when trout rely more on contrast to locate prey.

## **Selecting the Right Size**

Choosing the correct size of your **Shipman Buzzer** is crucial for matching the hatch and maximizing strikes. Here’s a breakdown of the most effective sizes for trout fishing:

– **Size 12** – A great all-rounder, imitating larger midge species. Ideal when trout are feeding aggressively.
– **Size 14** – The most versatile size, matching a wide range of midge pupae. Perfect for general stillwater fishing.
– **Size 16** – Best for selective trout in clear water or when smaller midges dominate.

For the **3 x Orange Barbless Shipmans**, we recommend carrying a mix of sizes (e.g., 12, 14, and 16) to adapt to different conditions.

## **When and How to Fish the Orange Shipman Buzzer**

– **Stillwaters & Reservoirs** – Fish it on a floating line with a slow retrieve or static under an indicator.
– **Early Season & Cold Water** – The orange hue stands out when natural insects are less active.
– **Dropper Rig** – Pair it with a heavier nymph or dry fly for a two-fly setup.
