Fly Tying - How to tie the Biscuit Booby

#Flytying #LakeofMenteith #Rutland
A very easy fly to tie but these blob type flies like them or loathe them , there is no getting away fromit they are pure fish catchers on the stocked fisheries large or small. The Biscuit is a great fly for the washing line style and is equally at home fished on the sunk lines.
Hook - Fario wet fly 10#
Thread - UTC 70 Flo Fire Orange (Not flame as stated)
Rear - 2 turns of Sunburst 10mm Fritz
Body - 5 turns of Biscuit 10mm Fritz
Eyes - 5mm Yellow booby cord

Nice one Stevie Many thanks

I’ve been putting far too many thread wraps around my booby eyes which in turn makes them sit awkwardly- thanks for the tip

@@genehughes5036 Sorry mate just seen your reply , yeah you don't need too many ...a couple of wraps round the eyes and then a turn or two round the hook and repeat.. that should be enough ..

Deadly, where do you get the raw Fritz to dye? If you don't mind me asking lad

It was from the Essential Fly , I don’t think you can get it now. It was about 10 years ago probably I got a kilo spool .
