The Booby Humungus Pink is a bright, attention grabbing stillwater lure that blends the flowing profile of a Woolly Bugger with the bold attraction associated with Dog Nobbler style flies. Finished in vivid pink tones, it’s designed to stand out in the water and encourage instinctive takes, especially when trout are responding to colour and movement rather than natural imitation.
This version is particularly effective on stocked waters, in coloured conditions or whenever fish need a stronger visual trigger to switch them on. The buoyant booby eyes keep the fly lifting and falling through the retrieve, creating an erratic action that can imitate fry or fleeing prey. Whether fished deep or worked higher in the water, the Pink Humungus is a strong searching lure when you need something with real presence.
Please note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.

How To Fish the Booby Humungus Pink Fly
Booby Washing Line Rig
Fish the Pink Humungus on the point with smaller flies positioned on droppers above. The buoyancy of the eyes helps keep the fly moving even during pauses, often drawing trout toward the setup.
Pull and Lift Retrieve

Allow the fly to settle low in the water column, then use gentle rod lifts or slow strips to make it rise and fall naturally. The strong pink col
Deep Drift and Rise Method
Allow the fly to settle low in the water column, then use gentle rod lifts or slow strips to make it rise and fall naturally. The strong pink colour remains visible at distance, helping trout locate it easily in deeper or coloured water.
