This fly worked well on a calm lake morning. The orange wing stood out in the sun, and my trout took it immediately. Simple design, easy to tie, and very realistic for a beetle pattern.
Lily Reid –
I’ve used several Freestone flies, and this one stands out. The color contrast is sharp and the fly floats naturally. Good for dry fly fishing in early season when insects are active.

Caught two trout on this fly during a morning drift. The shiny underbody made it look like a real beetle. It’s a reliable pattern for terrestrial insects in open water.
