No.12 Peppermint rock Boobie

The Peppermint Rock Boobie 

This  boobie fly I composed and I started to fish with last year. It quickly became a favorite and delivered many nice rainbows. I wanted to get a little dimmed fly, yet the viable color combinations of red and white. I also wanted to exclude the tail on the fly to maybe find a pattern that provides more clean takes when the fish would otherwise just go and pull the flies' tails.
