The Griffith's Gnat is a classic dry fly pattern known for its effectiveness in imitating midges, small insects that are a major food source for trout and other fish. It's a relatively simple fly to tie, despite its effectiveness, making it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced fly tiers.
Gnats are a perfect dry fly for lakes or slow waters. Cast near the reeds and banks on lakes for the best results.
