The Sparkle Black Gnat is a popular dry fly pattern used in fly fishing to imitate small flying insects such as gnats and midges. It is typically tied on a small hook, such as a size 14 or 16, and consists of a body made of peacock herl, and a sparkle tag made of crystal flash for a better attraction.
The Sparkle Black Gnat can be fished on its own or in combination with other dry flies, and is effective in both Stillwater and moving water environments. It is a great pattern to use during the summer months when small insects are hatching and trout are actively feeding on the surface.
