Black Beetle

The Mayfly season is past, and Caddis hatches are dwindling too. The terrestrials are becoming more important each passing day.

This smallish black beetle has brought to my net nice trout and - I am ashamed to admit - some fat Chub as well.


The tie:
#16 Hanák 130BL Hook
UNI 8/0 Thread Black
Deer hair dyed Black
Opossum dubbing dyed Black (artificial peacock dubbing is a valid option)
a few turns of black rooster hackle (just for movement attraction, flotation is from the deer hair)

  1. Every fish is a satisfaction, no matter which species it belongs to. at chub why not :)

  2. Any fish is better than no fish, though the choice between 2 poud chub and 2 pound trout is not a difficult one :)

    Cheers!
