Fly Tying for Beginners No. 11 Foam Beetle

Number 11 in the beginner's series is a very simple but deadly little beetle pattern, great for small streams with overhanging branches but equally at home on still waters. Try this anywhere there are terrestrial beetles for fish to feed on.

Great wee pattern. I have some foam from Skilto on Ebay and it is really life like in nature. You should look them up. I love it. All the best, and thanks for sharing. Sean
