Black & Peacock Snail

The Black and Peacock Snail, popularized and refined by Daniel Hackett on Tasmania's iconic Brumbys Creek, is a highly effective stillwater pattern designed to imitate freshwater snails. Its sleek design combines the iridescent allure of peacock herl with the subtle contrast of a black body, creating a lifelike representation of a snail. This fly is especially productive in nutrient-rich waters where snails form a significant part of the trout's diet, making it a go-to choice for targeting selective fish in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers.

Ideal for Wind Lanes: Cast into wind lanes or areas of surface scum where snails tend to gather. Allow the fly to drift naturally with minimal interference for maximum effectiveness.
