Mini FAB Biscuit
The Mini FAB Biscuit is ideal for targeting extremely pressured fish in stillwater environments. Whether you’re fishing Rutland, Grafham Water, or smaller catch-and-release waters, this fly is a reliable choice. When fish become selective or stop taking the usual patterns, try using a single Mini FAB on a long leader or substitute your standard FAB size on a washing line setup.
The subtle Biscuit colour combination blends naturally with the water surface, making it effective for fish feeding high in the water column. Designed by Rob Edmunds, this pattern features the new FNF 10mm Jelly Fritz, offering improved action and presentation.

Can I use the Mini FAB Biscuit on a washing line setup?
Yes, it is recommended to use the Mini FAB Biscuit on a washing line setup when fish are not taking standard patterns.

Fished it on a stillwater in early spring and caught a brown trout that was previously ignoring other patterns. The subtle colour and small size made it stand out without being too noticeable. Great for pressured waters.
Adam Greene –
Used it during a slow period on Grafham Water. The fish took it on a long leader, which was a relief after days of no bites. The action of the Jelly Fritz hook was smooth and natural.

Perfect for when fish are feeding high in the water. The Biscuit colour blends well and the fly moves naturally. I’ve used it in multiple small waters and it’s become a go-to when other patterns fail.
