Hot Snail

The Hot Snail fly, originally designed in New Zealand for targeting rainbow trout, has gained widespread popularity in the United States and Europe for its effectiveness in stillwater fishing. This vibrant snail imitation combines traditional snail features with a splash of bright color to trigger strikes from curious or selective fish. Its unique profile and subtle movement make it particularly effective in nutrient-rich lakes and ponds, where snails form a significant part of the trout’s diet. The Hot Snail is a must-have for anglers targeting both rainbow and brown trout in stillwater settings.

Use in Cooler Water: The Hot Snail excels during early mornings or cooler months when trout are cruising the shallows and are more likely to notice the fly's vibrant accents.
