RJW Cheese Mini Snake

The Cheese Mini Snake is a bold, high-visibility pattern designed to draw attention and trigger aggressive takes, especially from stocked fish. At 5 cm in length and tied short with the hook set closer to the tail, it keeps the renowned mobility of the snake style while delivering far better hook-up rates. The bright “cheese” body colour creates a strong visual target in all water conditions and is particularly effective in early season or after recent stockings.

Unweighted, it can be fished at any depth by simply adjusting your line choice. The slim profile and lively tail movement make it an ideal searching pattern when trout are cruising or responding to colour. Mini snakes have surged in popularity in recent times thanks to their versatility, hooking efficiency, and fish-catching consistency — and this vibrant version is no exception.

This fly is part of the RJW Premium Range of flies, hand tied by myself in Scotland using top quality branded hooks and materials.
