Fishing with Booby flies

Introduction

Fly fishing with Booby flies is a very effective technique that is easy to learn and use. It is a technique that is based on fishing flies that float with a sinking line or polyleader.

This gives the flies a unique gait in the water that has an almost magical attraction to a number of the species of fish that fly fishermen in Denmark fish for. It works excellently for sea trout on the coast, for perch, and can also be used successfully for pike. However, this fishing is particularly developed for fishing in lakes for trout.

The flies are easy to tie and do not require many different materials.

It is a technique that does not require much equipment and it is easy to adapt the equipment you already have to be used for booby fishing.
