Fly of the week

This is our second fly of the week. As with our last one it is great for fishing right now on our rivers here in Utah. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to email me or leave a comment. This week we have chosen to spotlight a fly that can be used as effectively in the summer and the winter. Its a foam beetle. I am going to give a weighted recipe for this one. During the summer I use a floater on the rivers. The weighted beetle simulates the underwater beetles that we don't always think about as being a good trout fly. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trout eat a lot of beetles and beetles are in all the waters that have trout. Recipe: Hook: Daiichi 1180 size 16 String: Black 6/0 Weight: lead wire under body Belly: peacock hurl Legs: wapsi rrm100 Body: black foam Try dead drifting it past a hungry trout and you will love it.
