Dave G. 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2020 I had some really crappy blood red peacock herl I was making my GGs with. Didn't seem to matter much as I recall. But I had tied red body with Grizzly hackle flies with a short bit of red tailing material to use as a wet fly in size 16-18 or so and that thing hammered cold spring weather snowy day hold over rainbows in the ponds around here using a slow sink line. I don't do that kind of fishing anymore though, it's a great memory non the less. Your flies look awesome ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandan 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2020 Very nice flytire. When I tie em in 24, 26 like this one, or smaller I like to add a post for increased visbility on the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robow7 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2020 The Gnat is my favorite dry in many of the small streams I fish since the midges are almost always present. Well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
