Default Snatchers

Hope someone can help.
I've tied up some snatchers for the new stillwater season, but i d'ont know really how they should be fished. Sould they be fished on the top dropper as part of a wet fly cast, should they be ginked up, or fished in some other way?
Cheers Ray

If you've got a nice ripple, you could even try twiddling back a team of three....

Rip them back in a wave, tweek them in a ripple, gink them up and fish them dry or fig 8 them as a top dropper with a team of nymphs and they will catch fish. A very versatile fly.

On Loch Leven they are fished from a di 8 to a floater, 100 miles per hour or on the twiddle. Great fish catchers. Just do what you enjoy.
