Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions ties a variant of Craig Mathew's Griffith's Gnat Emerger. Craig Mathews of Blue Ribbon Flies–in West Yellowstone, Montana–combined the original Griffith's Gnat pattern with his own Zelon Emerger to create the Griffith’s Gnat Emerger.
According to Mathews, the hybrid pattern works great on fish seeking individual midges and actually works as an imitation of almost any small insect.
