{{+1}}Booby egg{{-1}}
{{start}}
Basically a booby but without the body and tail. Suspend them off any of your weighted flies . . . lead heads are a good choice because they sink quickly and are cheap and easy to tie. In any case you need enough weight to get your booby egg down close to the bottom.
Tie the Floozeyes in with wool rather than thread so as to avoid cutting the axle between the two eyes and pick a colour for the wool which and the thread which is different to the colour of the Floozeyes but still one of the egg colours e.g. red, peach, salmon, orange and yellow. In the example below I have used orange Floozeyes tied in with yellow wool and red thread. The idea of the different colours is to add a bit of interest to the fly in the form of the appearance of yolk or blood.
