Description

Snakes have long been a go-to pattern for many stillwater anglers, especially when targeting large resident fish feeding on fry or recently stocked rainbows. But quite often they can be too big and fish will follow and turn away before taking. These 5cm weighted Snakes are designed to get eaten! Fish them on any line from a floater to a fast sinker with a steady retrieve. Designed by Fulling Mill Consultant, Rob Edmunds. Size: 5cm

Field Notes

This is a weighted streamer-style fly for stillwater fishing, especially when fish are keying on fry or stocked rainbows. Fish it with a steady retrieve on floating through fast-sinking lines to cover different depths and trigger follows into eats.

Pros

  • Small profile helps when fish refuse larger snake patterns
  • Weighted design gets down and fishes well on a range of lines
  • Good for stillwater fry-feeding situations

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish want a larger silhouette
  • May require experimentation with retrieve speed and line type
