These bee trout flies replicate natural bees, making them ideal for trout fishing in New Zealand’s rivers, streams, and lakes. Their detailed design and lifelike appearance increase the chances of attracting trout. Best used during warmer months, these lures perform well in clear water and near overhanging vegetation.
From October to March, trout actively feed on surface insects. Bees often fall into streams near meadows, gardens, and riverbanks. These flies work best in sunny weather with a light breeze, creating natural drift conditions.
Ideal for small streams, backcountry rivers, and still waters, these lures attract trout searching for surface food. Fish them near grassy banks, tree overhangs, or lake margins where natural insects frequently land.
Use a floating line and a light tippet (4X to 6X) for a natural presentation. Cast towards slow-moving pools and let the fly drift. On breezy days, windblown insects increase surface feeding, improving results. Short, precise casts near structure help target feeding trout.
Perch in lakes may take these surface lures when feeding on floating insects. While native fish such as kokopu rarely rise to dry flies, they might investigate in shallow waters. These flies add versatility to any angler’s collection.
Bee trout flies help anglers match the hatch, increasing success in local waters. Their lifelike movement and authentic colours make them a useful addition to any tackle box.
