Fly Tying Friday: The Foam Beetle - Panfish Candy!

For many anglers, dry fly fishing represents the pinnacle of the sport. There are numerous reasons why topwater fishing is loved by so many. For starters, you can see the take of the fish and surface eats are often exciting. In warmwater environments, a fly floating on the surface can avoid fouling when fishing weed-filled waters, making it the only type of fly that you can use in some conditions. I love fishing dries and will do it whenever conditions are suitable for it. Nothing beats the sights and sounds of a big bluegill taking a fly on top!

Visually observing the strike takes a lot of guesswork out of hooking a fish but is not always that easy. Timing the strike, near misses, and refusals can still perplex anglers. Improper timing in setting the hook is probably the number one reason anglers miss topwater eats. You must resist the urge to set the hook the very second you see the take. Allow a second or two to pass before setting the hook. Your hook-up ratio will improve if you allow the fish to turn and head down with the fly before setting the hook. But wait too long and the fish will reject the fly and you are out of business. Over time you seem to develop a sixth sense in regards to how long to wait before setting the hook on a fish.

Whenever you are fishing a floating fly you should be ready to react to a hit the moment the fly hits the water. This means managing loose line at all times, as any slack will reduce your effectiveness in setting the hook. When setting the hook on fish like bluegills and other sunfish simply raising the rod tip will usually do the job. For tough-mouthed fish like largemouth bass, I will usually set the hook using a strip strike. Simply lifting the rod will not move the fly enough to penetrate the hard mouth. Instead of lifting the rod tip, you set the hook with a series of strips, with the rod tip pointed at the fish or simultaneously sweeping to the side.

The take of a fly off the water's surface can be an imperceptible sip, a violent explosion, or something in between the two. Any way they come, surface hits are exciting and will keep you coming back for more.  

Few fish share the bluegill's affinity to eat on the surface. This combination of fishing a dry fly and a fish that can't resist eating it is what makes fly fishing for panfish so enjoyable. But what fly should you choose? The fly fisher who chases panfish has a mind-numbing variety of flies to choose from. Traditional dry flies, hair bugs, poppers, and foam bugs will all work if the fish are looking up.  

Flies tied with foam offer some advantages over other materials. Keeping a dry fly floating, especially after catching a few fish, can be a problem. A properly constructed foam pattern goes a long way to solving this issue. In addition, cleaning off fish slime and re-applying floatant is usually unnecessary with foam flies.  

While foam may not be the ideal material to tie a delicate mayfly or caddisfly, it does a fine job on many terrestrial patterns, particularly beetles. There are somewhere around 400,000 species of beetles crawling around on this planet. In addition, beetles constitute almost 40% of known insect life and 25% of all animal life! So chances are pretty good that a few are going to end up in the water and ultimately in a belly of a fish. 

There are many effective foam patterns for panfish, including my own Triangle Bug, but few flies can match a foam beetle's fish-catching charm. A foam beetle tied with a chunky body made from thick closed-cell foam lands on the water with a fish-attracting splat, just like the actual insect. If there is are any bluegills in the vicinity, they are unlikely to resist grabbing it.

Tying effective beetle patterns

Most beetle patterns are simple to tie. A simple but effective beetle imitation can be constructed by lashing a foam strip to a hook and doing nothing more. However, my love for fly tying compels me to do a little extra work. Adding an underbody, some legs, and maybe an indicator of hi-viz foam or yarn (to aid in finding the flush floating fly) usually does the trick for me.  

I prefer to use a thicker foam for my beetle patterns. While 2mm foam is adequate for designs like the Triangle Bug, flies like beetle patterns benefit from a beefier body. I prefer to use foam like Hareline's 3mm, the 4.5mm foam from Semperfli, or bi-color laminated foam on my beetles. A laminated foam allows you to use thicker foam with two colors. One side to present to the fish and brighter color to allow the angler to see it clearly on the water. Regardless of which type you choose the thicker foam gives the flies that all-important splat when they hit the water and keeps them floating all day long without any assistance.

To aid in compressing the thicker foam without cutting through it use heavier thread. I will not use anything lighter than 6/0 or 140 denier when working with foam. When compressing or tieing down the foam, start with light wraps and apply more pressure with each consecutive wrap. This will collapse the foam without cutting through it. This method is a useful technique, particularly when working with thicker foam.

You can keep your underbody simple (thread wraps can suffice), but I like to add a body of peacock herl, dubbing, Straggle String, or floating poly yarn under the foam shell of my beetle patterns. An underbody can add additional movement or a little flash to your fly, increasing its fish catching ability. While many of the beetles in my trout boxes are tied without legs, I can't resist adding legs to my beetle patterns that I will fish in warmwater. While you can find more complicated beetle patterns to tie, the simple design described at the end of this article is all you need to fool big bluegills.

Tips for fishing beetle patterns

My preferred method for fishing beetle patterns in warm water is to find a shoreline thick with overhanging trees, preferably shaded. I will then cast my beetle pattern back under the branches as far as I can. A chunky beetle pattern works well for a technique I call skip casting. A skip cast lets you bounce the fly off the water's surface and skip it back under cover; it is a valuable technique for fishing structures like overhanging trees and docks. You accomplish this by keeping your cast low and parallel to the surface of the water. I usually add a little haul on the forward casting stroke to accelerate the line and make the fly skip easier.

Once the fly hits the water, let it sit for a while without disturbing it. Beetles are feeble swimmers and do not move much. The key is to animate the fly without dragging it across the surface of the water. You do this by applying very subtle twitches to your fly line. Keep your rod tip low to the water and keep as much line on the water as possible. By doing this, it can help you to keep moving the fly too aggressively. Allowing the fly to sit motionless is usually more effective than actively moving it. Rather than fishing the fly all the way back to you, pick up and present it again if a fish does not grab it after a few twitches.

I have also found fishing a beetle pattern over open water at sundown or after dark an effective technique. Many species of beetles are nocturnal and become active as the sun sinks below the horizon. These clumsy fliers often head out over open water and end up in the drink. Having a big June Bug fly into your hair or down your shirt while fishing after dark while out in a boat or kayak emphasizes the fact that beetles spend time out over open water at night!

Beetles are a staple terrestrial pattern that works well in warm and cold water. If you don't have a few beetle patterns in panfish fly boxes, you are missing out on a tremendous topwater pattern. So tie some up and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Pattern Recipe:

Hook: Firehole 618 size 14-8 (the #618 is my go-to hook for many foam patterns)

Body: Sheet foam cut in a strip slightly wider than the hook gap of the hook you are using. Try 3mm, 4.5mm, or laminated foam for a thicker body that produces the all-important SPLAT!

Underbody: You have a few choices here. you can keep it simple with thread alone or add a body of dubbing, peacock herl, Straggle String/Straggle Legs, or Floating Poly Yarn.

Legs: Round rubber or silicon.

Indicator: Hi-vis 1mm foam

Fly Fishing Small Streams For Trout

Most people prefer to fly fish in open waters but trust me fly fishing in small streams is even more enjoyable. For one reason, trout in small streams are often larger and importantly its easier to cast in these streams. The question therefore remains, how does fly fishing small streams become successful? Well, fly fishing small streams for trout calls for three major things: the ability to read the water, stealth, and proper casting. Let’s discuss each one individually.

 Studying the waters

 Before you think of getting into the waters, from a distance, study the stream. It will be easy to see trout because they are well camouflaged. To enhance your eyesight, a pair of Polaroid glasses would do you good.

 The spots that you should be on the look-out are those that provide the fish with shelter from predators or flowing currents and those that will be easy for fish to access food.

 Usually, small stream trout will rest at the edge of a current anticipating for their food to come by. This spot is commonly known as the pocket water area because its where the fish will be hiding from the main current. Bounce your lure along the edges of a fast-flowing current because for one reason the fish will not see you due to water turbulence and for another reason, the trout will be very eager to grab any prey that comes by.

 Stealth

 Unlike many other types of fish, the trout is very alert. Not only does the trout see you approaching, but also, they feel your footsteps even before you appear on their eyes. You must, therefore, determine how you’ll strategically cast while staying out of sight and importantly remaining low. In this case, it's recommended that you fish upstream. From another perspective, fishing upstream helps you to use the available open space for back-casting.

 Casting

 A cast of 20 feet would put your fly right above the fish. Make your cast back from the small stream’s waters’ edge. In cases where there is a little cover around the stream, consider using a long leader the place the fly fishing line on the bank of the stream. Allow the leader to get water that is close to the river bank as much as possible. This will ensure that any fish lying close to the bank will see your fly and probably get attracted to it.

 Choosing trout fly for small streams

 Choosing a fly for fly fishing in small streams easy because the small river trout tend to be very opportunistic than the open water trout. This is probably because there is less food in small streams and so the competition for it is so high.

 The most popular variety of fly for small streams is the Caddis and the small streamers. To begin with, the variation of Edson Tiger streamer works best for small stream trout.

 As of the flies, your fly box should carry Caddis of 10 to 22 size. Mix the colors of the Caddis so that you’ll have brown, black, yellow, orange, green Caddis.

 In a stream with fast-moving water, be sure to use a bright colored fly that will be easily visible to the trout. It’s of less importance to match the fly to the season because the season’s fly could be less visible and so you miss the chance to catch trout.

 You might need some floatant to keep your dry fly afloat. Be sure to use a floatant that will keep your fly afloat for a longer time.

 The rod and line for trout in small streams

 You need a rod that is equal to or short than 7 feet. A shorter rod is preferred because small streams often have a cover around them that might not work well with long rods.

 In determining the weight of the fly line, consider the weight of the rod used. The fly line should be one unit heavier than the fly rod, that is, if the rod is 5 weight, the line should be 6 weight. This combination enables you to make shorter casts.

 Verdict

 With a more sensitive approach, fly fishing in a small stream shouldn’t be a daunting task. A good ability to read the water and proper stealth coupled with pinpoint casting should make your fishing day successful.

3 Ways to go Fly Fishing with a Spinning Rod

Some anglers don't realize they can go fly fishing with a spinning rod. But fly fishing works quite well with spinning rods because they're easier to handle. The thing to understand about fly fishing is that it targets fishes that feed on aquatic insects - tiny, light weight insects that are practically impossible to catch, much less hook. Fly fishing tries to copy the movements of such insects by using materials or feathers.

Because of the lightness of the fly fishing lure, you'd normally need fly rods with heavy fly fishing lines to be able to cast your fly. The aim is to rely on the weight of the line, rather than the weight of a typical bait. With spinning rods, the end of the line bears the brunt of the weight. But there are certain situations where fly fishing with a spinning rod might be preferable, it all depends on the set up have and the available water.

For example, getting a natural drag-free drift might be more difficult with a fly fishing line, while using a spinning rod, with a monofilament line would create a lot less drag. There are a few other reasons why fly fishing with a spinning rod might actually be preferable to using fly fishing lines. Check out these two ways to fly fish with a spinning rod.

Casting Bubble To Fly Fish with a Spinning Rod

Is exactly what it sounds like. Because a spinning rod relies on the weight at the end of the line, ergo has a lightweight line, you can increase the weight of the spinning rod with a casting bubble. Once the weight has been increased, you can then attach your fly fishing lure at the end of the weight.

Merits of Using Casting Bubbles

They're transparent. If they were colored, fishes would be able to tell they're walking into a trap. With a see-through casting bubble, you don't have to worry about being detected.

If the rig isn't as heavy as you need it to be, you can twist the casting bubble open, add in some water, and close it back. The aim is to ensure rig works with the same efficiency as a fly fishing rod.

Using Strike Indicator for Fly Fishing with a Spinning Rod

Strike indicators are just fancy names for bobbers. You know, like when you fly fish using nymphs suspended under a float. They indicate strike, but "bob" while doing so.

Just as a strike indicator can easily be used on a fly fishing leader, so can it be used on a spinning rod. If you want, you can even go a size up, to increase the casting weight. Just tie a nymph to the line, attach some micro split shots to increase weight, then put your strike indicator.

Selection of nymph is of course on a water by water, day by day basis. But it helps to always have some "all season" nymphs trout generally can't resist.

The idea behind using a strike indicator is that you can watch the indicator for signs your sunk nymph has been bitten. Whereas with a casting bubble, you have to watch the actual fly to see if it's a hit.

Floating Dry Flies

Trout have been known to behave with single-minded determination, when they dial into the particular bugs they want for lunch. Nothing else will do, if it isn't the right color and size. Good luck getting their attention if you come with something that doesn't fit their "food" profile. You literally could toss out every lure in your arsenal and not get a single sniff.

All you need to be successful while going fly fishing with a spinning rod, using dry flies, is preparation and the right set up. Learn from the local fly fishing shop what kinds of insects the trout in their water likes feasting on. Then buy the gear that best mimics their "food". Get a clear float and tie it. Run your leader through the other end of the float before tying your fly.

Since the objective here is dry fly fishing, you'll want to use a lot of floatant on your "bug" to keep it high and dry. Spinning rods allow your flies drift more naturally than fly leaders and rods.

Bottom Line

Not everyone has different fishing gear for different fishing styles, so it pays to know how to improvise with what you've got. Considering the technique fly fishing requires, it might be fly fishing with a spinning rod might actually be an easier way to introduce amateurs to the sport, without any form of intimidation. Any of the different methods seen above are a good way to start, just remember that the most important rule of the game is to have fun!

Beginner Equipment List Required to Start Fly Fishing

Flies

One of the most important things you need to bring with you while fly fishing is the fly! Flies come in all different shapes, sizes, and materials. Some people even like to make their own flies. If you are just starting out in fly fishing though, you might not know how to tie your own flies. But that’s okay!

Start off with some simple store bought flies and as you progress work your way up to tying your own.

The best tip for finding the perfect fly is to learn about the usual diet and eating habits of local fish. If your artificial lure looks similar to the plant and bug life most common to the area, it will be more successful than other lures.

Leader and Tippet

Leaders and tippets are essential equipment for beginner fly fishers.

The leader is attached to the end of the fly line and will help you see the difference in your fly and line.

The best suggestion for buying your first leader is to look for anything made of tapered monofilament nylon. These are designed to help the leader travel through the air and come to a rest efficiently.

Next start looking for a tippet. The appearance of your tippet should not matter since the fish usually won’t see it.

A tippet attaches to the end of a leader, then allows you to attach a fly to your line.

The point of a tippet is to allow the fly to swim naturally through the water, which will attract more fish.

To ensure you are getting the correct leader and tippet for the fly you are using, there are charts and guides to help you. Most store-bought flies have a chart on the inside of the box to help you make the right combination. Before you buy your flies, look at the chart to ensure it fits with your leader and tippet.

Fly Floatant and Line Dressing

The final items on your beginner packing list are fly floatant and line dressing. These items can also turn out to be the cheapest on your list as well.

The fly floatant and line dressing’s purpose is simply to ensure that the fly and line run smoothly and- you guessed it- increase their floatation.

There are several different kinds of fly floatant and line dressing that you can purchase. For example, there is brush on, paste, spray on, powder shakes, dip and dunk styles, and gel floatants.

The most popular type is the gel floatant, simply because you can apply the gel floatant prior to heading out on the water.

Bonus Items to Bring

Besides bringing just the basics, there are also a couple of other items you can bring to enhance your fly fishing trip.

Waders

If you are only planning on fly fishing from the shore, you may not need to purchase any waders. However, many have claimed that the best fly fishing happens when you’re out in the water.

Like the other pieces of equipment you purchased before, there are multiple styles of waders you can buy. The style you purchase simply depends on the environment in which you will be fishing.

The two general styles of waders are chest waders and waist-high waders. Like their names suggest, chest waders come up to your chest while waist-high waders other only come up to your waist.

To decide the height you need for your waders, simply observe the waters where you will be fishing. Waist high waders are for shallower waters; meanwhile, chest high waders are meant for deeper waters. If you are in a colder environment with slightly shallower waters, chest waders may provide more protection and warmth to you while fishing.

When you are buying your waders, check to see if they are meant to be worn with boots or if they have their own built in pair of boots.

Another tip is to make sure you take good care of your waders to help them last longer. Coat your waders with some water repellent and store them correctly. Waders should last you a long time if you give them the proper care.

What is Dry Fly Fishing

  DISCOVER DRY FLY FISHING

  What is dry fly fishing?

You may see this as a very easy question, but in reality, it is more simple than that. Basically, a dry fly is a floating fly. When the dry fish takes a leap to glide, the angler strikes to hook the fish by seeing the fish rise to eat the fly on the waters surface. The dry fly flies have a special design to allow the dressing to roam on the upper surface of the water. 

  Why is it important?

Well, it can be. Because if you're fishing in the range of the water that the only rule is DRY FLY ONLY. Suppose you utilize what is technically an emerger fly pattern, then probable chances are that you might break the fishery rules. Dry fly fishing is common and loved by many fly anglers, most English fisheries identify dry fly fishing as more sporting and difficult, casting upstream and allowing the fly to make its way down the stream naturally is ofter harder than it sounds but when a trout strikes the rewards are huge. Many fishermen love to do dry fly identification and fishing, where the angler sees the fish rising towards the fly.

  Equipment

Rods:

We generally fish with a 9-foot rod in a #4 weight. This is the standard format of dry fly fishing techniques for trouts in lakes, but if you're not able to do it because of trees, you may require a shorter rod. You may agree on to go a little cloudless regarding the weight. If your river allows it (shorter fish and little throwing distances ), it's clearly improbable that you want to go any more massive than a #4 weight for normal UK stream dry fly fishing for trout in lakes. . Still, some fisherman enjoy fishing with very soft actioned fibre  rods or even traditional bamboo rods.

  Reels.

A type of stream category fly fishing reel that's acceptable to your line strength is all that needs. A minor, light reel will be helping as there is very much repetitive casting involved when we are doing dry fly fishing. Spend your money where you feel like spending, but it won't allow you to do any more fishing. For just of that time, your reel can be just a line holder.

  Lines.

Till today we only preferred fishing dry flies with the traditional weight forward cord. We have been through a lot of specialist dry fly cords and didn't receive much extra value. They said drift line choice is very prejudiced, and many people swear by more specialist dry fly lines. So if you think that you have to spend on the fishing the dry fly specialist chord, then do it. If you're confused, then a forward fly would.

  Waders :

If you're just a one time fisher or having a particular budget, then just boot foot and waders of nylons are okay. If you're following your passion or profession, then buying some breathable foot water stocks with different wading boots is money gone good. You will surely thank yourself when going through the regions of fields and rivers on hot days.

  Leader and Tippett

You will be happy with a copolymer or one tapered filament leader with a number of feet of tipped tied in the corner. Your tippet should be delicate in diameter than the leader to be convinced of a good popover. We would not say fluorocarbon as this can be a sink in the slower moving water and put your fly under.

  If you're desired to work with furled governors and other types of leaders, then it's all yours. Let's take a word of warning: if your line, leader or fly are not turning over right, the probability of the fault in your casting—most of the time when people who endlessly try several leaders because of poor presentation having default cast.

  Regrease only your tippet with a reasonable degreaser to sink it just right under the surface for the last few meters of tippet and improve the presentation, For a 9-foot tapered leader and a few feet of tippet. You really don't have the use of a tippet. However, it's much economical when you're regularly shifting flies.

  Lotions and potions.

Any real dry fly will float flawlessly fine without adding any further procedure. It will be sinking in some splashy cast and even in turbulent water. If you want to use your fly to work a little longer, then add some floatant. There are some powders to help dry out the fly after fishing, and your fly is saturated.

  Strategies

Prospective way:

There is an ethical way of fly fishing they include casting to specified rising fish, which is undoubtedly a very efficient way of fishing. There are many more rivers and streams which are rain-fed, where many fishes are captured by prospecting. Prospecting means seeing the areas you think are having most of the fishes even when you don't see any fish rising above.

Some of the areas of prospecting are:

  Riffles:

Where is a rapid turbulent area of water, Normally located at the top of the deeper pool called a rifle? A fish will be sitting in the riffle at the head of the riffle to give a few dibs on the meal entering into the puddle.  There are many confident feeders in rifles as they're much hidden from the predators in the turbulent water. If you can't see the fish, most probably they can't see you. This gives the fisher a huge benefit. They are rigid, which can be tough to locate but the very limited practice, you will become habituated to them.

  Bubble streams :

The regions of concentrated current where the bubbles on the ground of the water are centralized into a line on the surface of the river are called bubble streams.

The fish holding activity is always amazing here as the concentration of current and the concentration of food is striding with the stream, feeding upon nymph and other food materials as they tumble down the bubble stream.

  Stalking:

An exciting way to catch a fish is by stalking an individual fish. This way of fishing is more suitable for the clearer flows where finding out a fish is easy. On the other side of streams, many individuals hunt fishes by the casting to its rise, never really observing the fish itself. All summed up, it's very easy to locate a fish in the streaming water where the little disruption of the surface can be seen. But after some experience of fishing, you will be able to focus on spots rises in sharp turbulent areas of water. Spotting of fish and swells will be built in or to gain some experience. The brain has to be trained to lead the eye to rise.

  Type of flies.

Elk Hair caddis (Tan) barbless.

A fishing fly is very popular and efficient. In most of our rivers and streams, the elk hair caddis is a great source of representation of many types of fly. When caddis is popping and arising out of the water, very little sizes are most needed to cheat too many fishes—a bright idea of the fishing fly.

  Barbless Universal Olive.

If you spot an olive on the surface of the water any day or any time, then it's sss a fly. It has been seen around the world on water, large streams or low. The tying gives rise to the great float ability. For the perfect demonstration, you should use floatant sparingly whenever it stands in rather than on the surface.

    Barbless Skinny Black Gnat

 Most natural black gnats are slim and skinny while most of the commercial is too much weight oriented. That's an overall favourite for clear liquid, wild moors, or careful fish. They really can't avoid it. The insolvency choice for acid water where the amazing rule is "any colour of your choice as long as they are black."

  Do Some research

We will be getting into the bugs in a while to be sure that you have the basic technique down so you can have a laydown for everything we will discuss today.

  Whenever you spot a fish going up, just be mindful and take your time and observe them find out what they eat, so you have a plan for it.

  You can fish dry flies at any moment, but it's usually better when the water insects (we call them bugs from here on out ) are incubating out of the water when senior bugs are coming back to lay eggs on the surface of the water. Or when the terrestrial animals like hoppers and ants etc. like diving into the water.

  How will you identify what the feed of these fishes is?

It is very practical for big fishes to locate the big bug in the water. But there will be no alternative you'll be finding to study what is happening. Can you see the bugs floating down the surface? No, right.

  If you can't recognize what the fish species is, then you may try to check the specification like size and colour. Identify the fly that resembles the insect.

  There is also no replacement for doing your research on the water before you step out. You can search online for your river and your hatch chart to find out any information if you can.

  You are matching with your local hatch.

You should always have a bunch of common fly patterns before stepping for the river. You have to read or seize out that information from the resources.

  Now when you're on the site, put on some lab coat and test about your hypothesis because now it's a game of try and error.

If the fishes are feeding on the surface, you have to find what big it is. Now find someone similar in your box.

  It is also possible that fishes are on the wet flies just below the surface and not having actual dry flies and how to fish dry flies.

  If you spot a fish takes a bug out but don't have its mouth arising out of the water. Maybe it's possible that emerging bugs are not fly fishing dry flies.

  When you're now ready to improve your work, entomology is the next step you have to do. This time you'll be getting close to nature and doing the entire process.

  During dim light conditions, you have to use foam or high visibility on the fly to make it clear. If you're a little unsure of the size of the bug, go a little smaller than you think. Now only some of the time tested all over dry fly moulds in your toolset.

  Positioning and the Fly Cast
