Terrestrial flies are made to imitate insects like grass hoppers, beetles, ants, cicadas, etc. These flies are good to fish in late summer and early fall when bugs are in full activity. They are meant to mimic bugs that have been blown into the water off of trees, plants banks or the wrong gust of wind that knocked them out of the air. These flies may need to be mended in the water to make them look like they are struggling in the water. Some flies that can imitate these insects is the Chubby Chernobyl, Power Ant, Stalcup’s Cricket, and the Black Beetle to name a few.
