Black Straggle Booby

“I have been asked by lots of customers over the past few years to produce the top lake fly patterns.
I have put together a range of flies that I and many of my close (international) friends use. The hooks that they are tied on are the Hanak lake barbless, the Hanak 266 size 8 & 10 barbed black nickel and Kamasan Barbed. I have not tried to produce every lake fly under the sun but I have put together the patterns that have stood the test of time over the years.

I will be adding more of the lake range and small Stillwater patterns throughout the year, you have the opportunity to have the same fly in both barbed or barbless.
I hope one day that everyone will be using barbless hooks, this was my ambition when I first set up “Uniqueflies” five years ago, which many companies have tried to copy. Which can only be good for the fish and fly and fly fishing in general.”

Booby fishing for trout, either brown trout of rainbow trout has to be one of the most exciting thing in fly fishing. Boobies are so effective that some places have them banned.

Boobies can be found in many different shapes and colours. The large booby eyes are a huge attractor for any prey-fish. The buoyancy of the eyes create a very natural small fish movement. There are many variations of boobies combining new and traditional trout flies.
