Default Fishing a Boobie and 2 nymphs

Hi there everyone,

I read an article somewhere about a technique where you would have a boobie on the top dropper, then 2 nymphs. You fish this way using a sinking line like an inta or di-3..

Could some explain how to fish this technique? and also what this technique is trying to do? and maybe the best time to use this technique.

thanks in Adv.

cheers

If i fish a boobie with two nymphs i always stick the boobie on the point and the two nymphs on the droppers.

In fact this is my first line of attack early season with different sinking lines until i find at what depth the fish are feeding.

As WCB states it is normally used ''washing line'' style with the booby on the point, But a minor tactic is to have the booby on the top dropper as a wake fly,The fish coming for a look,Then being presented with the nymphs when they turn away.
