Mini FAB Sunburst
The Sunburst Mini FAB is perfect for targeting extremely pressured fish on stillwaters. Whether you’re fishing the likes of Rutland or Grafham water, or a small catch and release water, the Mini Fab deserves a place in your fly box. When the fish get tricky and stop taking, try fishing a single Mini Fab on a long leader, or replace your usual size FAB’s on a washing line set up. Sunburst has and continues to be one of the most effective colors for trout all over the country.

Fished on Grafham water during a peak season and the Sunburst Mini FAB worked well when other flies failed. The color stood out without being flashy, and the action on the water was natural. Great for pressured trout.

Used it on a long leader during a stillwater session and caught a small brown trout. The FNF 10mm pattern holds up well and looks realistic. Would recommend to anyone fishing pressured waters.

Good performance in a low-traffic water. The sunburst color is effective, though not as flashy as some other options. Works well with a washing line setup when fish are slow to take.
