Black and Green Snake

The Black and Green Snake is a highly effective stillwater lure, designed to tempt both rainbows and brown trout. Tied with soft black rabbit fur stretched over two hooks, the front hook is clipped to enhance movement and create a lifelike swimming action. Subtle strands of green flash are worked into the fly, adding just the right amount of sparkle to catch the eye of cruising trout without overpowering the natural profile.

This pattern works especially well in low light or slightly coloured water, where the dark body creates a strong silhouette and the flash offers a strike trigger. Fish it on an intermediate or sinking line with a steady figure-of-eight retrieve, or use short strips and pauses to bring out its full swimming action.
