This one , if tied right will have just the front of the head floating. Depending on the strips it can dive a little, jerk or try it on a slow rolly polly for that snake motion!
Fish it on a full floating line for more fun, but it can also be fished on an intermediate or even a sink tip.
My favorite is certainly full floating on rivers and let it play with the flow.
Can also be just deadly when fishing over big summer cabbage patch on bigger loughs! Its creates so much movements that pikes can't ignore when a belly changer passes over their head.
Top tips for this tie:
- Start with tying short lengths of hair and increase the length at every shanks so you will end up with a nice, natural profile.
- Respect a good ratio of hair between the top and the bottom of the fly. It just need to have less hairs on the bottom so it will sit well on the surface and won't roll.
- Do not overload the head, no need to pack it, it's not a full surface fly, you want it to stay on the surface, but also soak up a bit of water so it can be just subsurface.
- Use a heavy hook so it will keel properly.
- Try to tie it with small dumbbell eyes if you want a slow sinking version
