Honey Bee

The Honey Bee is a simple yet highly effective pattern designed to mimic the iconic honey bee. Featuring a foam body for buoyancy, a hackle for lifelike surface movement, and a yarn wing for visibility, this fly is ideal for trout fishing during late spring through early fall. Its clean, natural profile and floating design make it a great choice for fishing streams, rivers, and still waters where trout are opportunistic feeders on terrestrials.

Use in Still Waters: The Honey Bee works well in still waters. Let the fly sit motionless for a moment after it lands, then add a subtle twitch to mimic a bee struggling on the water’s surface.
