Foam Beetle
Summer terrestrial
Marble troutSurface
A foam beetle for summer and bank-edge fishing when airborne food is more important than aquatic hatches. Drop it close to overhanging trees and wait.
Fish this when
Warm summer afternoons, tree-lined banks, breezy conditions. Marble trout holding under cover and watching the surface.
Why it works
Beetles and large terrestrials fall into Slovenian rivers throughout summer. Large marble trout will accept a drifted terrestrial where they would refuse a searching streamer.
