Depending on water depth I use a type 4 sink tip, type #3 full sink or a type #6 full sink. The leader is 3>4’ long with a Booby or bold hanging on the end.
I strip them along. Cast out and watch the Booby. When it disappears pulled down by the line, start stripping - fast.
In water depths over 15’, I count down.
Works OK.
Static Booby fishing kills fish. This method requires an anchored platform and a type 4>6 line c/w a Booby. Cast out, let the line completely sink to the bottom and slowly retrieve tbe Booby. The fish tend to suck down the fly to the opening of the stomach making release impossible.
This type of technique can be used for other floating patterns like dragons flies or leeches. Kills fish — lots of fish.
