Please describe this "booby."


Mike will likely correct me, but I "think" ( always needs quotes when it
refers to me ... since it's clearly stretching the word ) that they are
flies tied with foam to float, and with marabou or some such to wiggle
around, but fished on a sinking line and not moved much, if at all

I fish the idea, if not the booby pattern, in lakes and it's a killer, at
times. I usually use a floating dragon fly nymph and fast sinking line,
enough leader so the fly is above bottom weeds, and a slow, oh, so slow,
retrieve ( with the occasional fast twitch in there to keep from going nuts
:-) When it's working it works well.
