Dog Nobblers

Dog nobbler flies are absolute classics in the fly fishing world - they're one of those "must-have" patterns that every angler should know about!
  • Originally created by Trevor Housby in the 1980s
  • They're lure-style flies designed primarily for stillwater trout fishing
  • The name comes from their distinctive action - they "nobble" or bob up and down in the water
Key Features:
  • Distinctive tail: Usually made from marabou or similar soft material that pulses with movement
  • Weighted head: Often with a bead or cone head to help them sink and create the bobbing action
  • Simple body: Typically chenille or similar materials in various colors
  • Size range: Usually tied on hooks from size 8 to 12
Colors & Variations:
  • Black is the classic and most popular
  • White, olive, orange, and pink are also very effective
  • Some tied with flash or tinsel for extra attraction
  • Goldhead versions are particularly popular
Fishing Techniques:
  • Retrieve: Slow, steady pulls with pauses - this creates the "nobbling" action
  • Depth: Can be fished at various depths depending on weight
  • Locations: Excellent around weed beds, drop-offs, and open water
Why They Work:
  • The pulsing marabou tail mimics small fish or large aquatic insects
  • The erratic movement triggers aggressive strikes from trout
  • Versatile pattern that works in different conditions
  • For Troutflies UK, dog nobblers are definitely customer favorites - they're simple to fish but incredibly effective, making them perfect for both beginners and experienced anglers.
