Beacon Beige created by Peter Deane.
This fly is designed by Peter Deane. He is reputed to have names this pattern after a the hill Cilmstock Beacon which dominates the valley of the River Culm. The Beacon Beige is a great fly with excellent floating properties and a high degree of visibility.
The Beacon Beige can be used to catch Brown Trout
As the name indicates dry flies which include Beacon Beige are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include Beacon Beige 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 Beacon Beige has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help Beacon Beige 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

Dry flies are therefore an important weapon in the fly fisherman's arsenal and there is little that matches the excitement of seeing a fish rise and take your dry fly from the surface. Choosing the right trout fly can be difficult and over the years it has almost become a black art! The sensible fly fisherman will of course match the hatch when he starts fishing, there are often key flies like caddis, sedge, mayflies or olives that should always be considered when hatching or clever flies like Klinkhammers which with theirparachute and body dipping into the sub-surface look like a fly emerging.
