The black gnat fly is an excellent trout fly to use when any small dark or black insects or the real flies are on the water. Clouds of gnats can often be seen hovering over the water and it is inevitable that some of these will fall into the water, thus becoming a food source for the trout. Gnats are a delicacy to all trout species. |
