Beetle trout fly pattern

Desription A beetle trout fly is a heavily tied pattern that represents either the Green Beetle (Manuka beetle) or the Brown Beetle which represents the grass grub beetle. Both are very effective early in the summer months and can also be very effective when the beetles are flying as many land on the water becoming a very tasty mouthful for the waiting trout. There are many different versions of this fly.
