An excellent streamer pattern developed by Ray Schmidt. The five beads between the hooks add weight to the fly yet the fly is still easy to cast and virtually tangle proof. A fast action 6 weight is the perfect outfit for casting this fly. Work a jerk and strip downstream retrieve and hold on! This is an outstanding pattern to try when nothing else seems to be producing. Take extra care in handling the Rattlesnake as the two x-point hooks are exceptionally sharp. Tied on Daiichi X510 and X120 X-point chemically sharpened hooks in tandem.
