Beetles-
Land bred and aquatic. (27 recorded species)
In some lochs aquatic beetles are a very important and trout feed on the adult and free swimming larvae.
Falls of land bred beetles can trigger huge rises of fish and it pays to be observant.
One season there was a huge fall of red/brown soldier beetles and I enjoyed bumper
catches of trout to a soldier palmer.
Most black flies should work for the aquatic beetles
