Description
Caleb's Bee, designed by Umpqua signature tyer Caleb Boyle, is a dry fly crafted to imitate the natural profile and coloration of bees. This pattern stands out for its buoyant body, vibrant segmentation, and realistic appeal to trout feeding on terrestrial insects. Particularly effective in the late summer and fall when bees and other terrestrials are active near the water, Caleb's Bee has proven itself as a versatile and durable pattern for both rivers and still waters.
Pro Tip
Use on Windy Days: Windy conditions are perfect for this fly, as breezes often blow bees onto the water. Fish Caleb's Bee during gusty afternoons for heightened trout activity.
