Fly Description
The Foam Beetle is a classic, virtually unsinkable terrestrial dry fly pattern that belongs in every angler's box from mid-summer through late autumn. While it can be customized endlessly, the core design uses a strip of closed-cell craft foam folded over an iridescent peacock belly.When cast, it lands on the water with a distinct audible "plop" or "splat" that acts as an underwater dinner bell, mimicking a heavy beetle falling out of overhanging bank vegetation.
