Fishing Flies
Fario Fly - Candy Man Original Yellow Eyed Booby
First devised in Scotland, this is the original version of the Candy Man Booby and has proved incredibly popular and successful on waters throughout the UK. When conventional booby patterns fail this fly can often save the day. The subtle colours in the wing and tail combined with the Mirage tinsel body offer an appealing alternative to the brighter coloured boobies. This fly is specifically tied with small amounts of baby pink marabou through a silky white wing. There are many versions of the Candy Man Booby available but let us assure you this is the correct and most effective one.

Fario Fly - Cocktail Super Blob
Love them or loathe them the Blob fly is probably one of the most common and almost certainly most effective patterns used on the competition circuit. These flies work on both small and large waters. The Cocktail Super Blob version is particularly effective in early season although can be used all year round. It is often useful to consider the size of your Blob fly if you are getting refusals from fussy fish. All of our Blobs are tied with materials dyed specifically to the Fario Fly specification.

Fario Fly - Reverse Sunburst Candy Man Booby
The Reverse Sunburst Candy Man Booby is a version of our very popular Sunburst Tailed Candy Booby. Here the wing and tail are reversed and therefore so is the dominating colour - which in this case in our super bright competition sunburst shade. Similar to our other Candy Boobies in the range this pattern has a Mirage tinsel body, a material which is remarkably able to reflect light and appear as a different colour in various surroundings. To say this is a bright fly is an understatement and it has the most amazing ability to pull in fish from a distance! One of our favourite patterns for "plopping" on the surface. This is a great Booby pattern for Lake of Menteith, Rutland Water, Lyn Brenig, Grafham Water and we have had great success on many other popular reservoirs too.
