Using natural materials to tie up a pattern that is most often today executed with synthetics is always a challenge to me. I spent a few summers testing this pattern and distilled it down to some very basic materials. The use of quills, peacock herl, and black saddle hackle can get you a very effective Japanese Beetle pattern in a few minutes. This particular pattern I use in very slow, clear, and shallow water. Rises to this pattern are very fast and somewhat violent.
