Anyone out there with the same problem of fishing a fly that appears to do well for anglers but not for you.
I have caught a fair amount of fish on Crunchers, but Snatchers appears to be a no no,
I have caught a couple on them but have blanked with them more,
Have to admit because i have not done well with them, i dont really use them.
Have only tried them as a dropper on a Floating line letting them sweep round.

Next time you are up at harelaw get them moving through the waves and you will hammer fish!

Hi Joe,

it may be that you are not moving your snatchers fast enough , generally snatchers are more effective when "pulled" , whereas crunchers will be more effective fished slower.

I have had not much luck with either, nice bit of advice Robbie, I must remember it for next season, slow for crunchers and speed up to a pull for snatchers. Thanks.

I fish burns fishery a lot snatcher fish great but crunchers never caught a thing on them.maybe am fishing them wrong

just experiment with them and you will find what they want on the day i ginked a bibio snatcher one day and fished it dry what a day i had

Snatchers need to be moved Laurie. Anything from a sloooooow fig 8 to a good pull. My favourite M.O. is a team of 3 on a slow inter.... slooowly does it. And don't just limit them to use on a floater - they'll work on any line.

There is however an exception to the movement rule... when you cast out your snatchers, try leaving them static for a few moments, while they fish 'dry' and then 'damp'. Takes will often come straight away. Start the retrieve with a couple of good strips as soon as they have sunk, then steady away with a slow retrieve.
