Griffith's Gnat

The perfect midge to imitate the midge cluster. This pattern has proved itself to be a real winner in fishing situation where the fish are super selective.

When midges are on the water think Griffith’s Gnat. While at first glance this fly doesn’t really appear to be a great imitation of one of the smallest insects on the water, when midges hatch heavily, they tend to cluster together in the current to create a more significant meal for hungry trout. When fished in combination with a more realistic midge or mayfly nymph as a dropper some amazing fishing can be had. It is the ultimate technical micro dry-dropper rig.
