Pearly Griffiths Gnat
This months Pub & Dub will be Thursday, April 4th at 6:00 PM in the loft area at the rear of the taproom at the Gilded Goat Brewery and Taproom, 3500 S. College Ave in Fort Collins. Come and join us for an evening of socialization, swapping fish stories from your summer and maybe even learning a new pattern.
“Pub and Dub” is a free event hosted by the Rocky Mountain Flycasters TU Chapter for members and friends to meet, have a beverage and tie flies. Marty Staab will designate a “Fly of the Month”, and the Chapter provides all tying materials (vises and tools as needed) along with video tying instructions on the big screen TV. Tyers of all abilities are welcome, and first time tyers will find themselves surrounded by others happy to assist.
Please RSVP to Marty (Pub-n-Dub@rmftu.org) before each session, and let him know if you need a loaner vise or tools.
This Months Pattern: Pearly Griffiths Gnat
The Griffiths Gnat is a "cluster midge"
It’s dry fly pattern that represents a pile of wings and legs, relieving the angler of trying to guess from among the wide range of colors and sizes that adult midges display. The Pearly Griffiths Gnat is a tiny tweak, adding a scintilla of flash to an already successful pattern.
