Busy Bee

The Busy Bee, a popular terrestrial pattern, is designed to mimic the profile and movement of bees, making it especially effective during late summer and fall when these insects are active near water. With its segmented foam body and lifelike details, this fly floats well and attracts fish feeding on terrestrials. It’s a versatile option for targeting trout in streams, rivers, and still waters, particularly near vegetation or overhanging branches.

Add Gentle Movement: While drifting, add subtle twitches to mimic the natural struggles of a bee on the water's surface. This lifelike action can entice trout that might otherwise hesitate.
