Sparkle Griffith's Gnat

Fly: Thomas Züllich, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Partridge SUD barbless
Thread: Gordon Griffith's super fine 14/0
Tail: Sparkling tinsel
Body: Peacock herl
Hackle: Whiting Silver Rooster - light dyed dun
Note: In a moment of laziness I played around with this very catchy pattern to see how much simpler it still could be. I ended up winding all 2 strands of peacock and the hackle around the thread and than wind this on to to the hook. It actually works. Amazing to me as it seems too easy almost.
