Snail FAB Variant

The Snail FAB Variant is a creative adaptation of Russ Owen’s original Snail FAB, offering a slightly more subdued yet versatile approach to targeting rainbow and brown trout in large stillwaters. Retaining the foam-enhanced buoyancy of the original, the variant incorporates a more naturalistic color palette and additional dubbing for lifelike detail. This pattern is particularly effective when trout are feeding on snails near the surface or suspended in the water column, making it a must-have for stillwater anglers seeking selective fish

Slow Sink for Suspended Fish: Fish the Snail FAB Variant with an intermediate line and let it sink slowly in the water column. Use a steady hand-twist retrieve to maintain the fly's natural snail-like movement.
