Joe’s Foamy Beetle

Joe’s Foamy Beetle is a cracking little terrestrial pattern that gets the surface bite when there’s cicadas, beetles and even just caddis about. Trust me, we’ve done it in all those situations. A brilliant surface fly for both trout and carp when they’re looking up, this one has been put through rigorous testing and come up trumps in a range of waters for both species of fish. It hits the water with a solid ‘plop’ to get the fish’s attention, and then sits low in the film if fished untreated, or rides high and proud if you give it a soak in Loon Fly Dip!

Now sold as single units per hook size. Buy as few or as many as you like!

Of course, if you want to tie this pattern yourself, Troutlore offers all the quality materials for this and many other patterns.

Joe’s Flies are tied by Joe Manzano, located in New South Wales. His patterns have been put to the test over the years and refined to work with the best materials available and to better perform in Australian conditions. This Foamy Beetle pattern is tied on quality hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box for all times of the the stream and lake season.

Sizes showing as “In Stock” represent flies that are ready to ship immediately. Any sizes showing as “Available to Backorder” will be tied after completed payment of order. This usually requires a 10-14 day turnaround depending on the current tying queue at Joe’s Flies. Your complete order will be shipped as one after all flies have been tied. We will contact you is further unforeseen delays arise with a fly order.
