Black Gnat Flies - Dry Fly

Black Gnat

There are many natural flies covered by the generic term 'black gnat'. These are usually terrestrial flies of the Bibio species through some fly fishermen consider the water loving Emphid flies to be the only true Black Gnat. Regardless of preference this fly will be found in most fly fishermens fly boxes as it is deadly at times.

Black Gnat Flies - Fly Tying Dressing

For the more adventurous among you we have provided tying specifications for the Black Gnat fly pattern. Remember at The Essential Fly we sell the Black Gnat fly at incredible prices with a top quality fly and service to back it up. It is certainly worth tying the Black Gnat yourself to understand the pleasure of catching a fish with your own tied fly, however at the price we sell flies it is only worth tying one or two Black Gnat as your can spend more time fishing instead of tying flies - buy volume online with us.

Hook Sizes	Dry Fly 12 to 16
Silk Thread	Black
Tail	None (but sometimes it is given a tail to aid its floatability)
Body	Black silk
Rib	Silver wire
Hackle	Black cock
Wing	Starling or grey duck

A great fly pattern, looked well made, got a good hit on the first cast, but the fish got off. When I retrieved the fly, I observed that the hook bend had opened out.
I appreciate this can be a problem sometimes as hook size reduces, but I had hoped for a better quality at this premium cost, hence just three stars.
Thanks.

Response:

All our hooks are tied on top quality hooks, this can unfortunatly happen depending on how much force the fish puts into its bite.
