Foam Beetles x 8

There are around 3,000 species of beetles in the UK and yet these insects are rarely imitated by anglers, they are rarely ignored by trout though. This small floating pattern covers both terrestrial and water beetles, also very effective when fish are taking drifting snails.  Hook sizes 16 and 14.

Due to the demand from carp anglers,i've tied some bigger beetles on carp hooks.These are for sale in my ebay shop under the heading 'carp flies'.The foam beetles listed here are are tied for trout and are not strong enough for 20lb+ carp!!!!!!
