Cocchaffer is a dry fly designed to imitate a cockchafer (May beetle) – a large terrestrial insect that can fall onto the water from trees, bushes and vegetation along the banks. Its brown coloration and substantial profile create a convincing imitation of the natural beetle and make it an excellent choice for surface fishing during the active season for these insects.
Cockchafers are relatively large insects and can provide valuable food for fish. When they fall onto the water, they can trigger an aggressive response from trout and other surface-feeding fish. Cocchaffer is particularly well suited to presenting close to banks lined with trees, bushes and other vegetation.
The size 10 hook matches the large profile of the natural beetle and makes the fly a highly visible imitation of a large terrestrial insect.
Best for: Trout, Grayling, Chub
Ideal conditions: During cockchafer activity, around trees and vegetation, when fish are feeding on the surface.
