What is it? I've seen it mentioned in several places as the best fly

brought up a whole array of different looking things called
'gurglers'.

Is is a specific pattern, or is it type of fly (like a 'terrestrial'
or 'dry'), or is it a generic name for any big fly that has a lot of
noise associated with it?

As Tim pointed out, a Jack Gartside creation. They do make a lot of
racket in the water

Lee Haskins has created some variations, that I use a lot for stripers.

If Taimen are aggressive, baitfish feeders, I have no doubt gurglers
will work.

Thanks....if anyone wants to tie up a couple big ones and send them my
way, I'll let you know how they do. :-)

How big is "big ones". :-)

They've said something to me about 6 to 8 inches long. How big are the
ones used for stripers?


Whoa, a gurgler tied on a 10X #2 Carrie Stevens hook. Sounds like
something I would tie.
