## Description

Stone Creek™ Red Top Foam Beetle

The Stone Creek™ Red Top Foam Beetle is a simple yet highly effective terrestrial pattern designed to imitate beetles and other small land-based insects that trout eagerly feed on throughout the season. Featuring a durable black foam body and a bright red visibility post, this fly combines a realistic silhouette with exceptional flotation and easy tracking on the water.

Beetles are a consistent food source for trout, especially along grassy banks, overhanging vegetation, cutbanks, and slow-moving water where terrestrials frequently fall into the current. The Red Top Foam Beetle excels in these situations by offering a natural profile that fish recognize while allowing anglers to easily spot the fly in varying light and water conditions.

Its buoyant foam construction makes it an excellent standalone dry fly and a highly effective dry-dropper fly capable of supporting nymphs beneath it. Whether fishing rivers, streams, spring creeks, or lakes, the Red Top Foam Beetle is a proven producer when trout are feeding near the surface.

Features:
• High-floating foam body for superior buoyancy
• Bright red top for enhanced visibility
• Realistic beetle profile
• Effective in clear water and technical situations
• Excellent dry-dropper indicator fly
• Durable construction for repeated use
• Productive throughout the season
• Ideal for rivers, streams, lakes, and spring creeks

Imitates:
• Beetles
• Small Terrestrial Insects
• Surface Food Sources

Available Sizes:
• #6
• #8
• #10
• #12

• #16

Fishing Tips:
Fish tight to grassy banks, overhanging vegetation, undercut structure, and slow seams where beetles commonly enter the water. Fish with a natural drag-free drift or add an occasional subtle twitch to imitate a struggling terrestrial insect.
