SNATCHERS

Over the last number of seasons I have been fishing more and more different types of snatchers and they have been getting results for brown and rainbow trout. Here is two of my top snatchers that I always have in my box, I generally fish them on a slow glass, midge tip or floating line. Retrieved very slowly can be very effective.
