Fishing
the Rutland Booby
These Rutland boobies can be fished from
the bank or boat.
We
suggest using a fly rod of 9ft; 9.5ft; or 10ft capable of casting an 8
weight
line, as the best line to use with these boobies is a fast sinking DI7
or DI8.
For
bank fishing, we use a short fluorocarbon leader of 8lb.b.s. x 3 feet
long.
This can be shortened inch by inch until you find the depth at
which
the
trout want
it?.
Also,
for increased distance a shooting-head constructed from the
DI7/8
fly
line is
recommended.
Cast
out as far as you can and let the line settle on the bottom of the
lake, the booby will rise-up and fish at the length
of your
leader (3ft; 2ft;
18ins
or whatever length you decide upon) - retrieve very slowly,
the
slower
the
better, until you feel a trout take the booby in it's
mouth
do not
strike
keep retrieving until the rod tip pulls round. Fish
On!
For
boat fishing, we use a fluorocarbon leader of 8lb.b.s x 9 feet long.
On
the point tie the booby fly then tie-in two droppers
3ft.
apart up
the
leader with buzzers (size 10, 12 or 14) black, olive, red or a
mix
of
all 3.
Cast
out from the boat and let the line sink, as the boat moves over your
line
retrieve fairly fast until the top buzzer is visible
stop
retrieving and hang the flies for a couple of
seconds bang!.
Fish On!.
