The Black Gnat Wet Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking to mimic the natural appearance of small black gnats, a common trout prey. Originating in the UK, this fly has been a staple in fly boxes since the early 20th century, renowned for its effectiveness in both still and moving waters.
Key features include its sleek black body, delicate wings, and subtle hackle, designed to replicate the silhouette of a gnat on the water's surface. This fly is particularly effective during late spring and summer when gnats are abundant, enticing even the most cautious trout. Its timeless design and proven success make it a must-have for any serious angler..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Black Gnat Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective when fished in slow-moving or still waters where trout are feeding on small insects. To maximise its effectiveness, use a light tippet to allow for a more natural presentation. Cast upstream and let the fly drift naturally with the current, ensuring it remains just below the surface. Employ a slow, steady retrieve to mimic the movement of a struggling insect. Alternatively, use a figure-of-eight retrieve to create subtle movement, enticing trout to strike. This fly is particularly effective during late spring and summer when gnats are prevalent.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Black Gnat Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early summer, particularly from May to July. This period coincides with the natural hatching of gnats and other small insects, making it an ideal time to mimic these natural food sources.
During overcast days or when the water is slightly choppy, the fly's effectiveness increases as it can attract trout feeding just below the surface. Additionally, using this fly in the early morning or late afternoon, when insect activity peaks, can yield the best results.

How does the Turrall Black Gnat Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Black Gnat Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of small black gnats, which are prevalent around water bodies. These insects are part of the Diptera order and are commonly found near streams and rivers, especially during warmer months. The fly imitates the gnat's appearance and movement as it rests on or just below the water surface, making it an enticing target for trout.
Fish target these gnats because they are abundant and easy to catch, providing a reliable food source. The fly's dark body and delicate wings replicate the natural insect, triggering the trout's instinct to feed on these readily available insects.
