Description
Cove's Orange Snail, designed by renowned angler Arthur Cove, is a unique pattern inspired by his iconic Orange Nymph. This fly is crafted to mimic snails that are present on or near the surface, particularly during periods of high snail activity in still waters. Its subtle orange hue and streamlined design make it an excellent representation of a snail's natural appearance, while the addition of soft hackle enhances its lifelike movement in the water. Ideal for calm conditions and nutrient-rich waters, Cove's Orange Snail has proven to be a reliable choice for targeting selective trout feeding on snails.
Pro Tip
Focus on Scum Lines: Cast into scum lines or areas where surface debris accumulates, as these are prime zones for snail activity and feeding trout. Let the fly sit and drift naturally.
