A senior moment - Dryrod - 05-16-2008
[inline unk.jpg][:p][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Here is one of the flies that worked for me on Weir Lake. Since I only have one left, wanted to tie several more, but my problem is that I can't remember from which pattern I tied it. Also had a similar one that was all white a a bit more fluffier. Used my last one of the latter so no pix. Any suggestions FGD or Scruffy_Fly?[/size][/#008000][/font]

Looks like a Griffith's Gnat. Peacock body with Grizzle Hackle, but you really can tie them out of whatever you want. I tied some up with Yellow Floss body and Burnt Orange Grizzly. Killer in the Uinta's and I bet your Alpine lakes would love it also. Something about yellow on those HIGH mountain fish.
All a Griffith's Gnat is suppose to be is a cluster of Midges.

[center][#005028][cool]Thanks FGD. It looked like a gnat but my search in Google couldn't find a match. Thus I called on the pros. [
] It is an easy enough fly to tie but I wasn't quite sure what the base is. Will probably just use some fine dubbing and hackle & see how it goes from that point.[/#005028][signature]

[center][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4][cool]One can always count on you FGD. Finally found the fly through Google. Guess it would have been quicker to look up a griffiths gnat since you provided the answer.[/size][/#008000][/font]
