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. |
