The Ray Bergman Collection – 26) Black Gnat
Ray Bergman Collection — By HatchesMagazine on October 4, 2010 7:31 pm
Tail: None
Ribbing: None
Body: Black chenille
Hackle: Black
Wing: Dark slate
** Bergman’s recipe does not list silver tinsel as an optional tip. The tinsel tip can be found in other dressings; I prefer adding it to the Black Gnat for added attractiveness.
* The Black Gnat dry fly is on Trout Plate No. 14.

Hi Ruzzman;
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your kind words and I’m glad you like this fly. It is a very old pattern, dating well back into the 1800′s. Fish like black!
