Foam Beetle 2.0

[@josephiannelli7998]

“And in the end, the fish you take, is equal to the Beatles you make!”Love the tie and love the references 👍🏻

[@michaelo6124]

You should put this video into your panfish play list. It's a terrific pattern.

[@trevorgreen2370]

That’s a great fly. Thanks for sharing. I must say that I enjoy your “style “ of presentation. I find it to the point and no fluffy stuff. 🙏🇦🇺

[@frankbarnick9606]

watching you tie is like listening to the Beatles, Tim. Always a pleasure.

[@jacobstarr9010]

Pun intended?

[@robertperman8967]

Well Tyd!!! Tight lines🐛🐜🕷️!!!!!

[@LetortAngler]

Awesome. Love the rubber leg technique after the whip finish. Those little bits of "out of the box" info are what makes you videos so good.

[@SirPraiseSun]

ok this 1 is very helpful foam keeps slipping out the bottom base is very useful and super easy to fold over thank you for these.

[@edroe3877]

This is a trout catcher. It’s my “go to“ fly.

[@jderifaj]

LOL....killin' it with the beetle puns.

[@rWmyoutube]

So clever with the front legs!!! RWM

[@woodbox50]

ok will try this too! thanks for sharing

[@rachelw6822]

Loved the little trout checking out the Beetle! Cool . . . great photo moment!

[@seanmooney3907]

Thanks for sharing. I don't think there is a more effective beetle because of the foam and peacock herl I believe it is a winner. All the best, Sean

[@thorax21]

Nice one! Tried one out of an EarPlug!😂 Worked fine. Looked natural

[@michaelo6124]

Here's an idea. Before inserting the legs under the upper foam, drop little superglue on the legs themselves, and then insert. This way you don't need to apply head cement in the wrong place, really.

[@ericmartin3459]

did not catch the refferences until way late in the video... just made me laugh twice as hard that i missed it!

[@bowfranklin01]

like how you show what the fly looks like

[@bigbee]

Found this when looking for images of beetle flies and it was really confusing until I realized that it was a fishing thing lmao

[@hobocan22]

my boss took me to one of his secret "hopper" spots in Washington and i out fished him 4 to 1 with this pattern, it just catches fish

[@j.taylor7361]

It was tricky to get that whip finish under that foam onto that hook! Maybe I should have left the ‘head’ longer than I did 🧐

[@FishingChanneltv]

just love this videos but really don´t have time to tie my own flies, I work like 12 to 14 hours day, do you know where I can buy this Beetle already made? do you have an ebay shop?

[@r_fullman6604]

where can I find this parachute post material at ? having a hard time finding the green online. Thanks !

[@williamboston8702]

Try Ebay or Amazon. I found them on Amazon.

[@briancoble590]

Can you do a bluegill streamer for bass

[@TubeThatU]

I tend to have issues with this pattern rolling in the water. The green indicator goes out of sight, and then I'm fishing blind. Are there any recommendations for fixing this issue?

[@winstonchurchill4340]

I know I’m waaayyyy late, but the best thing on bigger foam bugs is to use a standard wire nymph hook(Dai Ichi 1550 is my go-to for beetles). It helps land the fly and “keel” it right every time.

[@shaunpacey9019]

Is the highlight spot on the back of the fly always green? Or can it be any color?

[@winstonchurchill4340]

Wayyy late, but orange and hot pink make good indicators. Color doesn’t matter, but these are the easiest to see

[@drew10725]

What brand/model of vice do you use? Or do you have any recommendations for a beginner getting into fly tying?

[@seanmooney3907]

The griffin mongoose is a great vise for a beginner and not a huge investment for someone, though beginning may not continue to tie. Many vises on eBay and some on craigslist as well. Those tiers thought they would always be tying too. He is using a regal and they are pretty pricey for a beginner, unless you know you won't quit tying. The vise and tools plus materials can get pretty expensive. All the best, Sean

[@43RattleSnake]

Would this work as an indicator for nymphing?

[@michaelbagrosky6136]

Yes, I love using these as an indicator with drop shot midge or other little nymphs

[@survivorjohnny44]

Is that 2mm foam?

[@survivorjohnny44]

Nevermind, I watched your other video when say the foam thickness

[@themccoaches3095]

:)

[@dmbpv20]

It's not that much different from the pattern you used.... Yesterday.
