Snail Fly New Pattern Database Submission

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

What did you make the shells out of?

They almost look like the real thing.

Interesting combination of the natural and imitation.

Have you fished it for carp and drum? Very interesting tie, to say the least. I like it!

They're real snail shells that I found in the river. The shells are actually really weak, but once you coat them in epoxy the get bulletproof. I mainly fish Silver Redhorse in small clear strems with this one, but should work well on Carp or any other snail eaters.
