I developed this Flying Beetle pattern at the encouragement of the late Charlie Fox. From June until fall this is my favorite and most productive fly. It is excellent on all freestone streams and it is the fly I always start with on Western spring creeks if there is no hatch. I start with the size 14 in June then go to a size 16 by mid Ju

In the summer this fly and the Rapidan ant always work for me. When you’re confused about what to use in the blue ridge when the temps are up, this is it.
