Don't worry we won't get bored looking at this sort of stuff, another great but of tying



Almost! It took me about six weeks to get the hang of forum image uploads but then I am unusually dim!
Give us a bigger picture because the tying looks pretty good

Been thinking about a booby type fly fit for pike for a while now. Here's the mk 1 'Booby Roach. It's about 4 inches long tied on a Sakuma Manta 4/0 hook  ...........

It's ballast comes from two foam booby eyes placed on the hook shank with most flotation on the upper side to make it suspend the correct way up;

The ballast gives it a bit of volume and more realistic profile.

Fingers crossed !!! :lol:

Now that is nice! Fished on a sinker slow retrieve has to be a winner!

Thanks guys, Has Jack Done something similar Dave?

Ah, Just found it, the wee floating minnow ? :. There's nothing new in fishing or fly tying is there ! :lol:

I cannot believe that ! Certainly not the case here in the UK. Bullshit methinks.

think if you got to the kyle of Tongue you will maybe find it is not bullshit :roll:

You think so ? How many did the commercial netsmen catch and how many did the local bass anglers catch during the 2015 season ? There may be isolated areas where anglers abuse big shoals of small fish but these catches don't get close to the numbers taken by commercial fishermen.

This one has no name.
The dressing is from the 1894 Hardy's Ballina catalogue. I love the colours. This one is tied on a vintage size 3/0 short shank mustad limerick bend hook.
