Default THE GRIFFITHS GNAT

This fly is a good all-purpose dry fly , it can represent a host of the smaller flies that get trapped in the surface film . It works best in the smaller sizes [ 14 and down ]

Nice one Paulus.
I enjoy your video SBS series, they are very helpful.Thank you.
Just one suggestion, if I could; try using a neutral, light background? This video is quite hard to make out the detail against the black.
Usually a light blue, mid green or even neutral grey works best .

Otherwise, excellent, please keep them coming. As a beginner at tying they are great as a learning tool.
All the best,
Gary.
