Beetle (terrestrial)

The foam beetle fly pattern is a popular and effective fly used in fly fishing to imitate beetles that often fall into the water. Beetles are a common terrestrial insect that fish love to eat, making this pattern a go-to for many anglers, especially during the summer months when beetles are abundant.

• Presentation: Cast the foam beetle near the banks, under overhanging trees, or where you see fish rising. Let it drift naturally on the surface.
• Movement: You can occasionally twitch the fly to imitate a struggling beetle on the water, which can entice fish to strike.
