Description
The Foam Slice Frog is a highly effective topwater fly pattern designed to imitate a frog sitting on the surface of the water or making subtle, erratic movements to trigger predatory strikes. Its unique foam construction provides buoyancy and durability, allowing it to stay on the surface and create a noticeable disturbance that mimics a frog’s natural action. This fly excels when fished in areas like lily pads, reed beds, and around submerged structures where frogs are common prey.
Pro Tip
Fish the Foam Slice Frog in areas with thick cover, such as lily pads, weed beds, or along the shoreline where frogs are commonly found. Use a floating line and retrieve with short, erratic strips to simulate the movements of a frog escaping from predators. Allow the fly to pause between retrieves, as this "resting" motion often triggers strikes from fish waiting for a frog to be more vulnerable. Focus on fishing during low-light conditions, such as early mornings or evenings, when predators are most active on the hunt.
