Foam Beetle | 3 Pack

A simple, high-floating terrestrial that just works. The Foam Beetle’s buoyant body, low profile, and subtle shine create a believable “beetle in trouble” silhouette that draws confident sips along grassy banks and under overhanging trees—especially on warm, breezy afternoons.

  • When it excels: Late spring through early fall; warm, windy days; tight to banks, undercuts, overhanging limbs, and lake slicks
  • Why it works: Foam rides high but sits low in the film for a natural footprint; the compact, dark profile and gentle plop trigger opportunistic eats
  • Pack size: 3 flies
  • Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook); bonus panfish in stillwaters
  • Ready to fish: Durable foam and clean wraps; consistent proportions for repeatable, drag-free drifts

How to fish it

Make short, accurate casts tight to structure and let it land with a deliberate plop; dead-drift with occasional micro-twitches. Run as a dry-dropper with 16–24" of 5X to a small nymph or midge when fish aren’t fully on top. Use a 7.5–9 ft leader (4–5X) in pocket water; lengthen and lighten in ultra-clear conditions.

Care

Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Refresh floatation with a powder/shake desiccant after a dunk or fish; avoid heavy gel on the body to keep the low-in-the-film ride.

Satisfaction

30-day returns/exchanges.
