In today's tying video we will be tying a Foam Monster Beetle. This fly can be fished in a lot of different situations but one of our favorite places to fish this fly is on the Henry's Fork in the Ranch section. I would have this fly in my box no matter what... you never know when you might need it.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
