Original Gartside Gurgler

No comments yet

The Gartside Gurgler is a fantastic, subtle topwater fly that can be waked or skated and if needed it can be fished more aggressively with pops and bloops. In the video I've stuck pretty much with Jack's original pattern but there are countles variations you can make to suit different situations.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
