Day Twelve: Coch-Y-Bondhu

Beetle time:
One of the most infamous flies of all time.  However, it is not limited to imitating a beetle. Fished wet with a sparser hackle it can deceive fish on dusk, or tied with a longer, fuller hackle it makes a nice cicada pattern for fussy trout.
I can’t really pin point the first time I ever use a Cochy, they have always been in my fly box and my fathers before me. Here’s hoping it will feature in my sons or daughters.
