Beatis Hatch

The beatis is a wonderful hatch and many large trout feed on them.

The Beatis mayflies are hatching now in our rich trout streams and the trout are feeding well on them. Some of my favorite streams produce this hatch best from 2pm to 4pm on overcast days. However, the time of the day of this hatch can vary from one stream to the next, so be obseverant. My favorite flies for this hatch are Beatis Parachute Dry 18 and the Mr. Rapidan Parachute Dry 18.
