Snails–Revisited
Just had an email from Theo Bakelaar about snails. He noted that snails are always around and so when the inset food fare is low, snails are a good bet. Yes, they certainly are. Theo tied a foam snail and did just fine. Bob Pelzl and I developed a snail fly back in the 1970s based on the Peacock Nymph. It has proven lethal on stillwaters the world over, and has become one of our “secret” weapons when fishing lakes. For complete tying instruction, see here.
Tasty escargot!!
