As Beetles are land-based insects, they are regularly blown (or drop from trees) onto the water, and they are not that elegant when they do! Don't worry about a perfect presentation, it is often better for the fly to splash down on the water. Keep in touch with the drift as the water brings the fly back to you, and give the fly a slight twitch every now and then. You will be amazed how often this inducement will bring up a fish!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't forget to drift the beetle under any overhanging branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemember,\u003c\/strong\u003e the takes are sometimes quite fierce, so pay attention!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Descriptions and photos of the flies can be found below:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoch-y-Bonddu Beetle\u003c\/strong\u003e - The classic beetle pattern, also known as the field chafer.
