Black and Red Foam Beetle

The Black and Red Foam Beetle is a highly effective terrestrial pattern designed to tempt trout feeding confidently on the surface. The black foam back provides excellent buoyancy and visibility, while the bright red dubbed body adds a strong trigger point that can provoke aggressive takes in both clear and coloured water conditions.

Tied with a durable black foam shell back, vibrant red dubbed body, and a head hackle for additional movement and extra buoyancy on the surface.

An excellent choice for small waters, stocked venues, rivers, and wild brown trout fishing, this pattern can be fished static or with subtle twitches across the surface, particularly effective near margins, weed beds, and overhanging vegetation.

This fly is part of the RJW Essential range, held in stock and ready for immediate dispatch, tied on high-quality materials and strong, reliable barbless hooks.
