Foam Beetle

In this fly tying video, I tie a simple version of the Foam Beetle. This is an easy-to-tie pattern that lends well to variations, but I also wanted to share how I use a foam cutter to tie multiple sizes. Finally, be sure to catch the end of the tying for a little hint, ha ha! ;-)

Recipe:
Hook: Hanak H130BL; #14
Thread: UNI 6/0; black
Shell: Foam; black
Body: Ice Dub; peacock
Legs: Life Flex; black

I was featured on Shawn Holsinger's YouTube channel tying another beetle; check that one out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC2t6bA-B-c&t=52s

Fly fishing for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice. If in the need for some helpful tips and other fly tying and fly fishing information, be sure to check out my "Trout and Feather" accounts on Facebook and Instagram...
