Hi Rob, how are you! We fished in Cuba together a few years back (2018) - still doing any saltwater? Useful vid for me - over to Canada with family in a week or so and looking to snatch a bit of time on a lake after Cutthroats and figured snake flies might be a good shout. Never fished them before as I don't really do still water (mostly UK saltwater fly).

this info from a double champ is ace

[@shannonyork5300]

Rob, Well done. Is your point fly snake at 9' from the fly line or 16' from the fly line?

[@FullingMillTV]

The top dropper is 7' from the fly line and the point fly is another 9' from the dropper fly. So, the point is 16' from the fly line.

[@shannonyork5300]

Ok, thank you for the clarification.@@FullingMillTV

Jeez I'd of been borking over the side in that chop

[@hotpoker4212]

How do you find out,whst dept fish are feeding at

[@connoro8610]

By trying different lines with different sinking rates. Pausing before retrieves. Try fishing columns with fast retrive then pause then retrieve.

[@davidquinn7144]

Why 2 snakes mate . A blob on the dropper is a better option

[@LukeAndrewFlint]

Great video. You must lose a lot of the fun tho hoofing the fish in on an 8wt.

[@Steviemac05]

Need nippers . Seen many a good man crack teeth biting nylon 😂

[@FullingMillTV]

He has nippers, he just moves too fast to use them 😂

[@wohltemper]

Yep. Chipped my front tooth at some point in the last 6 months.

[@Diawlbach54]

Snakes are banned along with boobies on some Northumberland fisheries .

[@connoro8610]

Slow everything down man couldn't be more thrashing if you tried.

[@aaronpoole9124]

Not using a tapered leader? No wonder it's difficult casting if you're going straight to 10lb from an 8wt fly line. That's wild honestly I'm shocked to see a reputable fishing brand ignore basic casting physics.

[@judithkelly2556]

I never use tapered leader just 10lb lineon winter lures and slipt some 6lb on the end for dry fly . No need tapered with heavy fly.

[@aaronpoole9124]

@@judithkelly2556 that's incorrect

[@Bannflyfisher]

Do these work on rivers?

[@FullingMillTV]

They certainly do!

[@Bannflyfisher]

@@FullingMillTV what sort of conditions? I imagine they could be fished like a streamer?

[@FullingMillTV]

@@Bannflyfisher It's very similar in concept to a Woolly bugger, so I'd fish it in similar conditions to when you would fish that!

[@Bannflyfisher]

@@FullingMillTV never fished any of them before. Got a handful of these snakes today. Just t look like they would be good in big, dirty water.

[@FullingMillTV]

@@Bannflyfisher They definitely would be!
