griffiths gnat

Tying The Griffith’s Gnat Pattern


Hook:Tiemco #101 size #18-#26 (any fine wire dry fly hook)
Thread:12/0 black
Body:Peacock herl
Hackle:Grizzly

Start your thread and wind back to the bend. Prepare a grizzly hackle feather and tie it in. I add a drop of diluted head cement too the tie-in point, but this is optional.


Griffith’s Gnat Fly Pattern



Tie-in your peacock herl.





Wind the peacock herl forward in tight wraps and tie-off just behind the eye of the hook.





Palmer the grizzly hackle forward as shown, tie-off.
