This fly represents a generic image of small insects swarming near the water, such as gnats or midges. The White Gnat Mayfly is particularly effective during the summer “quiet periods” when fish are reluctant to take other patterns, often becoming the key to provoking a strike. In especially small sizes (16–20), it is highly attractive to grayling, well known for its passion for tiny flies.
