Riparian,
Not sure what the difference is between the serendipities and buzzers .... I believe on youtube Dave McPhail shows his blue buzzer pattern .... at one time I dyed up a bunch of cobalt blue goose biots for this particular fly. It's actually a simple pattern to tie once you get the hang of it. The blue buzzer is the only one I've tied and ....... it works.

Heath, I've been tying some scuds of late ..... brown ones ..... using a patch of natural kangaroo hair ..... good stuff. I'm hoping to get some colored 'roo hair in the near future.

Also been tying a bunch of midges .... 24's.

Whatever you've decided to tie, I'm sure they look good and will work just fine.

Learned this one when I was in MT this summer. Very easy fly, and can be tied in a ton of colors. Basically a thread body with gold wire counterwrap. Head is elk hair (less is more) instead of a wad of Deer Hair like the traditionals.

Try tying using krystal flash for the body for a different approach. Also, for a "hard body", you can coat the body in Hard as Nails or head cement for added durability.

Best fished in tandem, a true killer even here in the Southeast.
