A collection of snake flies for sea trout fishing

BRONZE STOAT
BRONZE STOAT magnify
A very successful fly in 2005 , that did well on many rivers across the country. I have great faith in the body material which is Rumpf bronze Arizona braid. This material is no longer available, I originally came across it after being given it as a freebie by US Ebay seller Ed Landis. I tied this pattern with it and was so pleased with it I bought Ed's remaining stock of the braid. The flying treble is tied on 25 lb braid under silver mylar. The black hair wings are highligted with 2 strands of black crystal flash and finished off with AA grade jungle cock cheeks

A stunning snake fly and easily my best seller. Comprising of pearl mylar over 25lb braid to a size 10 Kamasan B990 tube fly treble. The smolt blue Arctic fox hair wings are highlighted by two strands each of red and blue mirror flash and blue crystal flash. The fly is finished with 2 side cheeks of Metz grizzle hackles. This is a good fly for fresh run fish and does well as a dusk fly on an intermediate line.
