That was a very interesting and useful video. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job tying in the wind. You’ve tied a few.

Hi Daniel. Another great method we use Bobby's for here in the UK is called the "Washing Line" technique. When the fish are feeding in the upper water layers we fish two Bobby's - one on the point and one on the top dropper - with two nymph/buzzer patterns in between. Fished on either a full floater or slow sinking/intermediate line it's a deadly method - the nymphs are suspended in the upper water layer a bit like clothes on a washing line. I fish them on a 10ft #6 or #7 weight. Give it a go for your coastal sea trout. Best Phil

interesting! :) sounds deadly!

Very interesting technique . I haven’t done a lot of lake fishing but I have quite a few around me and am going to tie some of these up and give it a try . We should be having ice out here in Montana in another month so the timing should be good . I also watched another video where they tied a couple of droppers below the booby that also looked promising . Nice piano accompaniment, thanks for sharing

[@NordicAnglers]

It would be awesome with a dropper fly, for sure! Thanks for the kind words :)

[@CKubossek]

Fantastic video. Had all the information I was looking for and looking forward to testing this in the spring.

[@NordicAnglers]

Awesome! Happy fishing with your new teq :D

The trick with Boobys is to use a very short leader - around 25-30cm(max 50 cm for some applications), and a full sinking line. A sharp pull will cause the fly to rise suddenly and undulate in a seductive fashion. This short sharp pull should be interspersed with a "do-nothing" retrieve. A pattern incorporating red marabou is intended to imitate bloodworm - this one should be left static without any movement. Other types of Boobys work well in the salt too :)

Woo , this is the best booby using method video I’ve ever seen, great and interesting, but one thing I want to know is the poly leader, is it sink faster than the fly line sink rate , like s4 line and s5/6 poly elder ?

[@NordicAnglers]

Thanks man! Yes, the sinking rate on our polys in this lake, was slightly "heavier" than our lines. I believe we fished a sink 3/4 line and 5/6 poly. It all depends on the water you're fishing, and the movement you want to achieve with the fly :) this method can be varied endlessly :)

[@ryantherock7664]

Great instructional video…what is the length and diameter of the eyes?

[@NordicAnglers]

We fished multiple types :) Mostly 3mm

[@miguelgoizueta7103]

I 've used small Poppers as a Booby fly for bream in Florida. It worked!!

[@NordicAnglers]

Yeah i guess any floating fly will do the trick :)

[@aaronbowie7368]

Hi Daniel, can you please tell me the name of that Orange Simms top you are wearing is?

[@PipeMedia]

It’s called the Simms Kinetic Jacket

[@aaronbowie7368]

Thanks. I meant to say also that I loved your video. I am going to have to try fishing those flies here in Australia.

[@PipeMedia]

@@aaronbowie7368 Thanks man 👍🏼 I’m sure it’ll work

[@markhoffman9655]

The booby flies work well in saltwater. In New Zealand you can use booby for bottom feeding fish like snapper or trevally and a short leader, 50cm, and is deadly when left still for a minute or two.

Nice video

[@vinniebarbarino-1]

great video ; )

[@francoisa5928]

We use bobbies at pyramid lake, I got many 10kg trout on these!
