There are of course aquatic, semi aquatic and land based snails but generally as fly fishers we are more interested in the aquatic species.They are of course Gastropods and there are over 48 species in spread across Australia. They range in size from 3mm right through to 25mm.

Snails are a food source for trout throughout the year. Having said that they are often overlooked by fly fishers. In colours imitating the naturals in the area to be fished they can be slowly twitched along the bottom or around the weed beds with great results. They are also a good ambush fly for trout foraging the margins. My standard choice of colours is a mottled brown and dark olive.{{end}}
