Thanks tony for putting this up.i would love to tie this imitation,but the only thing i have is the black sharpie marker,and i dont think that even works.check out the safwaa forum,some cool flies are being tied by a member,using cheap materials,under the heading tight a** flies,nothing to fancy,but definately fish catchers.

So much weird-old school stuff comes up on Fieldandstream, but always interesting.

That would work when the bream are hunting terrestrials around overhanging trees. Might even rustle up a few Cod Good find Tony.Cheers Dazz

What sort of size hook would you tie the Booby on Dazz, for our local Bream?

[fishnuts 55]

Tony you could use a Gamakatsu B1Os, nice wide gape, thin strong wire and sharp as all hell.Besides that just a simple hook like a Gamakatsu SS15, once again light strong wire but just a normal J hook, sharp as hell aswell.Cheers Dazz

Thanks for that dazz and I assume these patterns are stainless for the salt mate?

No mate the B10s aren't but all I do is give them a rinse in freshwater after use and they stay in good nick.Cheers Dazz
