Peter Stone introduced me to Farmoor, he used to be a regular there and once caught a dirty great bream on a buzzer underneith a large dry fly he was using as an indicator.
And years ago, it was 1987, I walked out on Grafham dam wall with a friend from South Africa in a mist, and there were two anglers with two rods each fishing boobies with the rods in rests connected to Optonics!!!!
But I digress, there is obviously bung fishing and bung fishing. Oh and I have used the bung too, but mainly adry fly on the point with a couple of nymphs or buzzers on the droppers. I have also used a dry on the top dropper and a couple of buzzers hanging undernieth. And yes Skippy you are right, these rigs do work from time to time, and also can be a dead loss.
Personally I prefer not to use a bung as they can get in the way. I prefer to fish buzzers by using the induced take, which at time is absolutely deadly.
