RJW Pink Mini Snake

The Pink Mini Snake is a vibrant take on the modern snake pattern, designed to stand out and provoke aggressive reaction takes. At 5 cm in length and tied short with the hook set closer to the tail, it offers excellent hooking efficiency while still delivering the fluid movement these patterns are known for. A hot orange head adds a bold trigger point, making it especially effective in coloured water or on dour fish that need their attention grabbed.

This version is unweighted, allowing you to control the depth entirely by your choice of line—perfect for searching different layers of the water without changing flies. A few strands of pearl crinkle flash are incorporated to add subtle shimmer and attraction, giving just enough glint to suggest life without overpowering the pattern. Mini snake variants have surged in popularity in recent years, offering versatility and consistent results across stillwaters and lochs alike.

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