A phenomenal beetle pattern that features a red dubbed underside and rubber legs creating tons of movement! The yellow post makes tracking this fly at a distance much easier than your typical patterns that can easily get lost in the foam and water movement. Hook Size 12.

Field Notes

A beetle imitation for trout feeding on terrestrials near the surface. Fish it dead-drift along banks, under overhanging vegetation, or in foam lines where real beetles get blown into the water. The yellow post helps with visibility when tracking the fly in broken water.

Pros

  • Realistic terrestrial profile
  • High-visibility post for easier tracking
  • Rubber legs add movement

Cons

  • Best in surface-feeding situations
  • Can be hard to see in glare or heavy chop
