The Booby Fly is actually not a pattern, it’s a tying style. You can tie most fly patterns in the booby style and they are excellent for trouts and other predator species. Leaches, crayfish, baitfish, nymphs and pupae imitations are easily converted to Booby Flies aswell as baitfish imitations. And big trouts just loves the movement the big booby eyes give to the fly.
It is the buoyancy of the Booby’s bulbous eyes that give this fly a unique and special action in the water. The use of soft fly tying materials complement the fly’s lifelike qualities.
Fishing the Booby Fly can open up for a lot of new fishing techniques – and it will enable you to catch fish in places you probably haven’t considered before. And even though the name might be silly – the fly is deadly.
