The fly is designed to imitate the water boatman insect, which is super common in still waters such as lakes and ponds. The design of this fly is simple yet effective. The body is made of foam, which helps the fly stay afloat, and the legs are made from rubber or silicone to create a realistic swimming action. While the origins of the Water Boatman Fishing Fly aren't entirely clear, it's believed to have been developed in the mid-twentieth century somewhere in the UK.
