Griffith's Gnat winters #1 dry fly
Continuing with my winter fly pattern series I offer up the Griffith's Gnat as my go-to dry fly.
Many people overlook the old Griffith's Gnat and think of it as a pattern of days gone by. But for me, it's a great searching pattern. An effective fly throughout the year that excels in winter when the midges are about. When there's a break in the winter weather and the midges are on the water I fish the G-Gnat. It's an easy pattern to tie and it only requires a couple of materials. It makes an excellent indicator fly as well, team it up with a Wire Head Pheasant Tail and have at it.

Hola.
ReplyDeleteYo la monto en anzuelos del 22/24 y es una de mis moscas favoritas cuando las truchas se ceban a dipteros.
Puedo comentar que a lo largo de mi vida mosquera han sido muchas las capturas de truchas de buen tamaño conseguida con esta mosca.
Para es es imprescindible llevar tres o cuatro moscas de éste modelo en mi caja.
Saludos
Hola.
ReplyDeletesí, es un buen patrón de trabajo hasta el fondo a 24 o tan pequeño como usted puede atarlos. gracias por el comentario, Doug.
"Hola.
