Really nice beetle! Two ingredients that naturally float. This video gave me a great idea for another bug as well. I will be tying these! All the best. Sean
Fantastic pattern, Barry! Looking forward to trying this out on the Letort spring creek here in central PA this summer! Looks like a great alternative to the Crowe Beetle. If I don't have black dyed deer hair, can I use something like a black marker to color my natural hair? Thanks!
Hi Sean, thanks. Deer hair won't colour with marker its too fatty, but getting hold of a small patch of dyed black deer hair shouldn't be a problem. Let me know how you get on.
Would you ever tie this with some sort of wing or do you not feel it necessary? i only ask because when I'm fishing floating ants I always seem to do better when they are tied with a wing, even if it's only a couple of strands of Krystalflash.
Hi Neil, yes of course but you are then deviating somewhat from the whole idea of this technique. But there are many beetle patterns you can make with CDC. Good luck.
Wow. Easy with all the right triggers. Nice tie

Should just be out of lockdown to fish come June here in Scotland so I’ll definitely try this. Thanks Barry.
I hope so Simon, thanks.
Great one with easy legs!!! Nice idea!
Great pattern, will give it a try

Hi David, no never had the need to tie it with wings, and they normally take it as soon as it hits the water with a little plop!
Thanks Barry.
Barry, would black CDC and hare dubbing do the trick for the body/legs?

The feather bender just trying to work with what I’ve got 😂
