Field Notes

Use this as a surface terrestrial imitation when fish are keying on beetles or other insects that have fallen into the water. It works well on calm to lightly riffled water with a dead-drift presentation or subtle twitch to suggest a struggling bug.

Pros

  • Floats well as a foam pattern
  • Good terrestrial imitation
  • Visible hot spot helps fish find it

Cons

  • Can be less effective when fish are not feeding on surface terrestrials
  • Small foam flies can be delicate
