Description

The Coch Y Bonddu beetle isn't about for long, but when it hatches the fishing can be epic! This small beetle usually hatches through May and June depending on the weather, usually from grassy banks. Brown trout and Rainbow trout both gorge on the Coch Y Bonddu, and this foam backed version is a great pattern to fish as a dry fly when they are on. Size: 12
