{{+1}}Booby beetle – Chatto’s original{{-1}}
{{start}}
Boobies are a fantastic bass fly when fished on the surface but occasionally they hang so low in the water they get a bit hard for me to see. To overcome that when seeing the fly is necessary I added a back of 2mm closed cell foam - works like a dream. This is undoubtedly my favourite bass fly.
