    Hey Jim,

    Were you by chance fishing on the Hiwassee?

    I’ve seen many fish chock full of periwinkles on the HI from time to time.

    I was indeed. It was July-August, and I wonder if the time of season had a lot to do with it. Regardless, those fish were loaded with little black gilled snails.

    Jim –

    Here’s a thought on how you might make one.

    Zach,

    Sounds like a money in the bank to me. I will spin some up and report back with fishporn. Have a name ready for that pattern…

    I’ve seen some snail flies using foam for the body/shell. take some 2mm foam, cut thin strips and then roll them into the shape of the shell. Then epoxy
