Shrimpin,
Never tried it for brownies, but I imagine in smaller sizes it could work on days of bright skies.
ps. popped some flies in the post today, so you should get them soon.

Shrimpin,
Forget about it, just enjoy the flies and try to get a few fish on them.

Lovely flies! However, they are closer to a "Sunk-Lure" than a Medicine. I also use the grizzle hackle - looks great. I can hear the sea-trout closing in...

Cheers Sloggi, Yes you are right, not really a Medicine, just "porting" the main colur scheme over to the snake fly. What really makes these flies tick in my opinion is the very slim grizzle hackleand they are mostly fished deep and slow |

Agreed - the grizzle hackle has that "fishy" look. Do you use it on any other flies? I usually have it any waddingtons I tie up.

Not with the grizzle but I use the Vulturine quinea fowl for the elver snake  Black Metz for the Black Adder  and a black with green tinge running through it for the night demon  |

Really good-looking flies. Do you have pictures of how you make the body for the snake flies?

Sloggi, I really couldn't do a better job than the Stefan Jones step by step here www.seatroutfishing.net/steff.htmMy own page is on the same site here www.seatroutfishing.net/snakes.htmThe secret to tying snakes because of the fexibility of the mount is to use your left hand as the vice |
