FATHEAD BEETLE TYING KIT
The Fathead Beetle is my most productive day-time, summer fly. It is indeed a rare outing when the Fathead Beetle does not produce fish. It has a "shape" that the fish see every day. Staggering numbers of species of beetles, flies and bees are on the wing and available to the trout for much of spring, summer and into the fall. Regardless of size and color, those bugs have one thing in common; shape. The fish see and eat that "shape" everyday.
After more than twenty years on the water, I have redesigned the FHB. It is a better bug in every way. Improvements include:
1) A new hook, offering a huge hook gap for better hookups.
2) A new body with better silhouette on the water
3) Better floating characteristics. It lands on the water Indicator-Up, every cast.
