Black Gartside Soft Hackle

This month's fly is the black version of the Gartside Soft Hackle streamer. Anyone who has used the standard white Gartside know how this fly swims in the water like a bait fish. Imagine how the black version would look like a leech slithering across the bottom of a deep brook trout pool. "Black on the bottom" is the tried and true way to catch your biggest Brookie this fall.
