Improved Easy Beetle

[Floyd 0]

Tie on the Polypropylene and cut to length for tail.

Cut foam to the same width as the gap on the hook. Tie foam down even with the point of the hook.

Tie on chenille, and wrap to where foam was tied down.

Bring foam forward and tie down where chenille stops.

Tie on eyes.

Bring foam back over eyes and tie down forming head.

Place legs on side of fly. I use flat skirt material. Trim foam and legs.

Great pattern, I'll have to try it. There's a similar pattern used at Pyramid Lake, NV. It doesn't have eyes or legs, but they love a chartreuse body. Also use white or black foam. Get yourself a nice fat Lohontan Cutthroat. :headbang:
