The foam beetle fly looks very realistic with the peacock underbody and black foam. It’s easy to tie and performs well in wooded streams during summer. The hi-vis sighter helps me see it clearly in the water. Great for imitating fallen beetles.

I’ve used this fly in several fishing trips along high banks. It catches fish consistently, especially when the water is still and the sun is low. The color and texture match real beetles well.

The fly holds up well in the water and doesn’t break apart easily. The sighter makes it easy to spot during casting. I recommend it for dry fly fishing in fall when insects are active.
