RIO Motorboat Booby Fry – Subsurface & Skated Trout Fly

The RIO Motorboat Booby Fry is a highly effective booby-style trout fly, built around a buoyant foam booby head that gives it a unique action both subsurface and on the swing. Designed to be fished deep, just under the surface, or skated across the top, this fly triggers aggressive strikes from trout in rivers, lakes, and stillwaters.

The foam head provides lift and movement, keeping the fly in the strike zone longer while adding a subtle wake when skated. Whether you’re fishing it behind an indicator, on a sinking line, or swinging it through moving water, the Motorboat Booby Fry consistently produces eats from trout that have seen it all.

When trout need something different—movement, buoyancy, and attitude—the RIO Motorboat Booby Fry delivers.
