Dry fly suggestions
Hi,
Just wondered what dry fly pattern anyone would recommend when the trout are taking small black gnats off the top?. Thanks for your help, Danny --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Dry fly suggestions
LOL I left myself open to that!
What I actually meant was that I was going this evening and wouldn't have a chance to get to the tackle shop to purchase any"small black gnats" and wondered what else I could use that i might have in my fly box. anyway in the end i used a small klinkhammer and had 5 browns, so had a good evening.

Fair enough. Bear in mind that a waterproof marker pen can convert any (clean undressed) small fly into a black gnat at need. Cheerio, -- |

Had a few nibbles from the Avon on Friday night but nothing stuck - I'm very rusty but the season is young. Best wishes for the new season, Steve Crook Salisbury |

Traditionally rather bushy, overdressed patterns were used here but they never addressed the other problem the Klinkhammer deals with so well, that of visibility. No matter how well the fly floats it not a lot of use if you (the angler) cannot see it and so miss all takes in fast, bobbly water. Cheerio, -- |
