Awesome. i cant wait...
I was just pondering, has anyone sugested tying snail patterns..?
I came accross some cool patterns. but snails are not a very common topic on any fly forum.
there prob is a good reason.maybe the fish dont take to them as much? they prob more difficult to fish cause they require more patience.?
What ever the topic... im in...

In some areas in mpumalanga snails consitute the bulk of the trouts diet! The tricky thing is that they're often taken off the surface as they have the ability to "cling" to the surface of the water upside down. Floating snails, with the top half of the hook shank covered in neoprene or foam and the bottom half in peacock herl or chennile, work really well ot imitate these.Originally Posted by Elizevh
