Description
The Booby Fly, originally developed in the United Kingdom in the 1980s, is a revolutionary stillwater pattern known for its buoyant foam eyes and seductive motion. Designed for trout fishing, the fly was created to hover just above the bottom when paired with a sinking line, making it effective for enticing strikes from fish holding in deep water
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
The foam eyes provide significant buoyancy, allowing the fly to hover just above the bottom when used with a sinking line. This makes it ideal for fishing over weed beds or submerged structures where fish are holding.
