# **How to Choose 60 Floating Favourites, Booby, Blob, and Suspender Fishing Flies for Lure Trout Flies**
Fishing flies are essential tools for any angler targeting trout, and selecting the right patterns can make the difference between a successful day on the water and going home empty-handed. Among the most effective flies for trout fishing are **Floating Favourites, Boobies, Blobs, and Suspender flies**, each designed to trigger aggressive strikes in different conditions. In this guide, we’ll break down how to choose the best 60 flies from these categories to maximize your catch rate.
## **1. Floating Favourites: The All-Rounders**
Floating flies, such as **dry flies and emergers**, are designed to sit on the water’s surface, imitating insects like mayflies, caddisflies, and midges. When trout are feeding on the surface, these patterns are unbeatable.
**Key Floating Favourites to Include:**
– **Elk Hair Caddis** – A classic dry fly for imitating caddis hatches.
– **Adams Parachute** – A versatile mayfly imitation.
– **Griffith’s Gnat** – Perfect for small midge hatches.
– **Stimulator** – Great for attracting aggressive trout in fast water.
**Pro Tip:** Carry a mix of sizes (12-18) and colors (olive, black, brown) to match natural insect variations.
## **2. Booby Flies: The Deepwater Attractors**
Booby flies are **buoyant patterns** designed to be fished deep with a fast-sinking line. Their foam or buoyant eyes keep them floating just above the lakebed, making them deadly for trout feeding near the bottom.
**Best Booby Patterns:**
– **White Booby** – A high-visibility option for murky water.
– **Pink Booby** – Triggers aggressive takes in clear water.
– **Black & Green Booby** – Mimics small baitfish or leeches.
**When to Use Them:**
– Early mornings or late evenings when trout are deep.
– In cold water when fish are less active near the surface.
## **3. Blob Flies: The Flashy Trigger Patterns**
Blob flies are **bright, flashy lures** that create strong vibrations in the water, provoking instinctive strikes from trout. They work exceptionally well in stocked fisheries where fish respond to movement and color.
**Top Blob Patterns:**
– **Pink Blob** – A go-to for stocked trout.
– **Orange Blob** – Highly visible in stained water.
– **UV Blob** – Effective in low-light conditions.
**Fishing Technique:**
– Retrieve with short, sharp pulls to create erratic movement.
– Best fished on an intermediate or slow-sinking line.
## **4. Suspender Flies: The Mid-Water Specialists**
Suspender flies are designed to **hover at a specific depth**, making them perfect for targeting trout holding in mid-water. They often feature a buoyant head (foam or deer hair) and a trailing body.
**Must-Have Suspender Flies:**
– **Diawl Bach Suspender** – A nymph imitation with great movement.
– **FAB (Foam Arsed Blob) Suspender** – Combines buoyancy with flash.
– **Buzzer Suspender** – Ideal for imitating midge pupae.
**Best Conditions:**
– When trout are feeding on emerging insects.
– In stillwaters where fish cruise at mid-depth.
