The Griffiths Gnat was created in 1936 by George Griffith, one of the founders of Trout Unlimited and there is no doubt he created one of the most important midge patterns of the last century. Midges or Gnats are the staple diet of most trout, these tiny insects are found on most rivers, lakes and streams. This popular dry fly is used to imitate egg-laying adult midges and emerging midges. The beauty of the fly is how it floats half in and half out of the surface film representing something stuck, trying to emerge from its shuck. These flies are very small having a black body and whitish wings, the small black midge (polypedilum nubeculosus) and similar species are common and widespread. Hatches are normally during the evening and are often prolific. Although this is called a gnat it is a great all round dry fly, effective on lakes, lochs, reservoirs and rivers as it suggests all sorts of insects that are trapped in the surface film. 

Available in packs of 3 and sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 (barbed).
