I love fishing terrestrials. While I find that a foam beetle gets trout all year, obviously, summer is prime time. This morning I hit 3 surface feeding browns on a beetle. Anytime I see fish laid up or rising near rose bushes I usually reach for a beetle. In 2006 we had a bumper crop of the Japanese beetles throughout PA - although horticulturists were mortified, it made for some great fishing. It will be interesting to see whether the beetle fishing this year will be merely very good as usual, or whether it will be fantastic. Have fun tying Green Drakes for upstate - I think I'll tie some more beetles this weekend.
