When tying the Booby fly it is important to look at the fly in profile to judge its appearance. It is equally important to think about what it looks like when wet, (the bottom fly).

The proportions of the flies above are about right. Maximizing the ‘wriggle’ of the tail is important.

They can be tied on a range of hook sizes from around 12 up to 6 or 8.

The key thing is the flies proportions when wet.
