Deer Hair Snail
Buoyant migrating snail
TroutSurface
Buoyant deer-hair snail for the midsummer snail migration, when trout sip snails off the film.
Fish this when
The midsummer snail migration on stillwaters or slow pools, cast to cruising fish sipping drifting snails off open water.
Why it works
Clipped deer hair floats snail-flush without sinking, holding the same motionless, low silhouette a real snail shows as it crosses the surface.
