Description

The Doobry is a classic bushy wet fly designed to catch fry feeders or daphia feeders. It's best fished as part of a team of wet flies for traditional loch style fishing. Use this pattern for both Rainbow trout and Brown trout when the sun is out, a great attractor for the top dropper. Please Note: This fly is tied on the Fulling Mill Short Shank Special Hook, code 31510. This hook has a standard size hook gape, with a shank length one hook size smaller E.G size 10 looks like a size 12. Therefore, the actual size of the fly you buy, may look one size smaller than stated.
