Black Foam Beetle

The Black Foam Beetle is a highly effective surface pattern designed to imitate terrestrial beetles that regularly find their way onto the water during the warmer months. Its buoyant black foam back keeps the fly riding high in the surface film, while the peacock herl body adds natural iridescence that can trigger confident takes from surface-feeding trout.

Tied with a durable black foam shell back and vibrant peacock body for excellent visibility and fish-attracting appeal.

A superb choice for small waters, stocked venues, rivers, and wild brown trout fishing, this pattern can be fished static or with short twitches across the surface, particularly effective near margins, lily pads, 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.
