Riseley Trout Flies- Fiery Brown Beetle
All Riseley Trout Flies are hand tied in Tasmania to exacting specifications and a high degree of attention to detail, craftsmanship and consistency. Each Riseley Trout Fly in the range is a proven fish catcher so you can be sure they will not just appeal to the angler, but even more importantly, those picky trout. All flies are tied on quality barbless hooks using high end materials.
The Fiery Brown Beetle is a versatile beetle style attractor somewhere between a dry and nymph. It excels when trout are feeding just below the surface rather than rising cleanly. While it resembles a small beetle, trout readily take it when midging, tailing, or grubbing for subsurface food, making it a reliable general purpose pattern.
Tied with a fiery brown seals fur body, this fly has a dense, buggy profile that fishes best in or just under the surface film. It is particularly effective on rivers and lakes when prospecting holes, edges, and corners, or when fishing from a boat to cruising fish. When nothing obvious is happening and trout are feeding inconsistently, this is a confident “when in doubt” option.
