Coch Y Bonduu Beetle

This beetle pattern slays trout during the Bonduu hatch.  During a terrestrial feeding frenzy on the highland lakes, this fly is sure to put fish in the net!

The Coch Y Bonddu beetle isn't about for long, but when it hatches the fishing can be epic! This small beetle usually hatches through May and June depending on the weather, usually from grassy banks. Brown trout and Rainbow trout both gorge on the Coch Y Bonddu, and this foam backed version is a great pattern to fish as a dry fly when they are on.
