Black and Gold Snake

The Black and Gold Snake is a striking stillwater lure that combines the natural movement of rabbit fur with the proven attraction of gold. Tied with soft black rabbit fur stretched over two hooks, the front hook is clipped to create extra mobility and a lifelike swimming action. Gold flash is worked through the fly to catch the light, while a collar of gold sparkle dubbing around the head adds both weight and a shimmering trigger point that trout find hard to ignore.

This pattern is especially effective in low light conditions or slightly coloured water, where the dark body gives a bold silhouette and the gold highlights act as a strike trigger. It is a reliable choice for rainbows and brown trout alike, and fishes well on intermediate or sinking lines with either a steady figure-of-eight retrieve or sharp pull-and-pause movements.
