Field Notes

Use this floating beetle-style plug on rivers and streams when trout are feeding near the surface on insects or other small terrestrials. Cast it tight to banks, under overhanging cover, or along current seams and let it drift or twitch naturally.

Pros

  • Realistic beetle profile for wary trout
  • Floating design works well in shallow water and current
  • Handmade balsa body can create a natural presentation

Cons

  • Very small size may be hard to cast accurately in wind
  • Single small hook may not suit larger fish or heavy cover
