The Tiers	Pattern	Comments
1. Richard Carter	Foam Gum Beetle	A float all day beetle pattern, readily taken by trout in both streams and on lakes.
2. Barry Jacobson	Fiery Brown Beetle	Wet fly. Effective on midge feeding trout.
3. Bernie Baer	Geehi Beetle	An Australian classic, suitable for streams and rivers in the Snowy region but worth a try anywhere else.
4. Rick Zieger	Foam Beetle	This is a foam beetle with ice cheniile under the foam around the hook. Has worked on warm water fish form me.
5. Robert Morger	Jade Beetle	Pretty little thing that can knock the socks off of jaded fish. Good little fly to use when there are alot of beetles on the water and the standard patterns aint cuttin it.
6. Alistair McBurnie	Black Humpy	This is just a black version of the humpy but it works a treat during the spring and summer.
7. Ashley	Surprise Beetle	Sorry about the lack of info guys, I am waiting on the availability of some materials.
8. Tony	Tea Tree Beetle	Just starting out on the net, would like to get involved.
9. Andrew Harris	Hairwing Coachman	It's a Hairwing Coachman - tied backwards! My favourite Beetle pattern, highly visible and great for bubbling little streams.
