I have never seen anyone tie a snail before...very intriguing pattern. Thanks for sharing, Mr McPhail.

Love the full length vids. Shorts, not so much. Thanks

[@davidprice5707]

Thanks Davie, another great fly

[@brucemyler2642]

Thanks Davie I’ve been trying to come up with a good snail pattern. Great idea this one.

[@bobbell5265]

Excellent pattern Davie 👌

[@АлександрПлахотный-ю1д]

Благодарю, Дэви! Мне очень понравился этот вариант. Можно и цветами поиграть. Неприменно сделаю парочку на пробу!👍🤝🇰🇿

[@markrobinson3841]

Another fantastic pattern & video Davie must tye a few up

[@articgrayling1300]

Never would have thought of tying a snail OO/

[@markwood5564]

Great indicator fly (snail-sp)

This is a great snail imitation. What can be substituted for Daphnia fritz? Bass in weedy ponds will inhale snails. Another good pattern, thank you Davie. This pattern looks like a tailless baby mouse.

Fish feeding on snails .. seriously? Either way it's a great looking fly. Thanks for tying.

[@ghart91]

Could be a good Caddis Pupa pattern too.

[@DavieMcPhail]

It would Gary...

[@icefisher1171]

I guess I've never really thought about snails as a food source for fish. Very interesting. Thank you, Davie.

[@brianstevens3858]

Yea most fish that regularly eat snails are smell hunters, but any muddler design is going to be taken by something hungry, those chunky insects are high in protean.

[@tomt5176]

@@brianstevens3858I believe snails are Gastropods

[@chasnaj]

Do you fish that on the top, or do you use a weighted line or sinkers?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi C Naj, You could fish it on any line and anywhere on the cast though fishing close to the reeds using a floating line and the same way you would fish a dry fly is great..They also get blown out into the loch so fishing them at different depths can do really well so you may want to fish one on the sinking line, I would put it on the top dropper myself.. All the very best Davie

[@DavieMcPhail]
