Lt. Griffith’s Gnat |
|
| hook | your favorite dry fly hook |
| hook size(s) | 18-24 |
| thread | 8/0 – 12/0 light tan or cream |
| body | bleached peacock or light creamy ginger ostrich herl |
| hackle-body | light ginger grizzly, palmer wrapped 5 turns |
notes: This is my variation of a classic created by one of the founders of Trout unlimited. I have found it an excellent pattern representing lighter colored midge and micro caddis adults. I have not had a need to use any other patterns than this one and the traditional Griffith’s Gnat to mimic adult midges. |
