Foam Beetle
Wind-blown terrestrial
CharSurface
Useful when land insects are blown onto cold lakes and char are patrolling the margins. Less selective than the Black Gnat — a slightly larger profile that char can spot from further away.
Fish this when
Wind-blown banks, loch margins, late summer terrestrials. If char are not actively rising, fish this near the bank rather than open water.
Why it works
Foam stays high and visible. Beetles are blown onto any lake in summer — char recognise the silhouette and respond opportunistically.
