Polifoam Bugs

Terrestrial flies are fly patterns that imitate land-based insects such as ants, beetles, grasshoppers, and crickets that accidentally fall onto the water. In fly fishing, they are especially effective during warm months when these insects are abundant along riverbanks and lakeshores. Fish often recognize terrestrials as easy, high-protein food and may rise aggressively to take them. Terrestrial patterns are commonly fished close to the bank or under overhanging vegetation, either dry or with a subtle drift.
