• A practical ready-made fly selection for anglers wanting proven modern stillwater-style patterns
• Useful for rainbow trout and brown trout in stocked stillwater conditions

Snowbee Chain Eye Snakes Fly Selection top tips

• Start with a steady figure-of-eight retrieve and watch for takes on the pause, as the fly will continue to sink and move.
• If fish are following but not taking, slow the retrieve down rather than immediately changing fly.
• Use an intermediate line when trout are cruising below the surface but not holding deep.
• Try a floating line with a longer fluorocarbon leader when fish are working higher in the water.
• In cooler conditions, allow the fly more time to sink before starting the retrieve.
• In coloured water, use the fly’s movement and profile to help fish locate it.
• Keep the leader strong enough for positive takes, especially when fishing stocked rainbows on a pulled retrieve.
• After a missed take, pause briefly before continuing; following trout often come back for a second look.
