What about baby brown trout? I've been tying some articulated flies lately. They are fun to tie. Get creative and match the colors in the fish. Just don't make them look like snakes. A bulky head whit a tapered back.
 
I used to have a baby brown trout and a brook trout pattern, but I haven't tied them in years and honestly forgot the recipe, I'll have to dig them out of my streamer box and try to piece the recipe together again.
 
okay, so as best I can tell they look like this:

Baby Brown Trout
-Mustad 3366, size 4-2/0
-Hareline heavy lead dumbbell eyes
-Brown Magnum zonker strip
-Yellow/Brown bucktail
-silver Krystal Flash

Baby Brook Trout
-Mustad 3366, size 4-2/0
-Hareline heavy lead dumbbell eyes
-Olive Magnum Zonker strip
-Red/White rabbit tufts for fins
-White/Red(belly)/Olive bucktail (wing)
-Peacock Krystal Flash
