The June bug, field chafer and coch-y-bondhy, coch-ybonddu are all names give to a little rotund beetle (Phylopertha horticola). It is a useful pattern effectice as early as mid-May if trout start feeding on beetles which you will discover by spooning the fish. As one of its common names implies it is found in large numbers around the month of June and is in greatest evfidence in the Celtic fringes of the British Isles. If fishing wilder parts of the country this fly is essential during the month of June
The Coch-Y-Bondhu can be used to catch Brown Trout
As the name indicates dry flies which include Coch-Y-Bondhu are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include Coch-Y-Bondhu imitate a wide variery of flies and insects which inhabit the surface of the water. There is nothing like using dry flies and watching trout and grayling rise to the surface. To purists dry fly fishing is the true art-form of fly fishing, indeed some rivers only permit dry fly fishing. There are some dry flies (e.g. the Popper, Muddlers) which are designed to attract fish by the action of creating a surface disturbance. The flies are made from very bouyant materials (e.g, cork, ethafoam or deer hair, the latter having a generous application of floatant). A Muddler retrieved upwind of a rise can often result in a bulge in the water as the fish follows the fly.
A dry fly like Coch-Y-Bondhu has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help Coch-Y-Bondhu float and they are usually cast singly on a trout tapered leader. A floating line is used, but with the tapered leader de-greased so that it does not glint and flash light spooking the trout
The Coch-Y-Bondhu is a terrestrial fly imitation. Natural insects like ants & bees can be food for trout. Imitation flies like Coch-Y-Bondhu are available imitating the natural insects (Hymenoptera) which are very diverse in appearance. Most hymenopterans have two pairs of membranous wings. It is only usually the ant, grasshopper and bee that are regularly used as sucessful terrestrial imitations like Coch-Y-Bondhu for trout fishing.
