There is a whole story wrapped up in this fly, needless to say it found its origins on the day the Kit Kat Cup started. I had taken Jock to Bewl water where we would meet up regularly. I was showing him a new method using a single booby for catching fish in the surface. After impressing Jock with its effectiveness he asked for the fly. I gave him one of my Candy Floss boobies and the rest as they say is history. He has tinkered with the pattern preffering it over the original tying. It has many names now the Mentieth Magnet amongst them. 30 years ago this was a devastating pattern for the Army team and was kept a closely guarded secret. Things eventually leak out though and this fly is now widely known. What might not be so well known is the way the bright body is achieved.
