Thanks for the input. I tried a scud today, but it was a size 12 and orange. I've got to get to the tying bench!
It was the only one I had. I did manage a small bluegill on it, however. Today, i didn't find any of the snails. The one time I got close to a rock, it cost me a shear pin! I wasn't trying to look at it or anything, just didn't see it coming.
I do have a cone shaped snail fly I tyed using Jim's dremmel bug method for the shell. Didn't get around to that one today, though.
