- One of the great striper patterns the Gartside Gurgler fly. This is a cracking pattern when other surface patterns just won't work. This is the original tying method as taught to me by the man himself Jack Gartside. Visit my site thefeatherbender.com

Wow how awesome is that to be shown by Jack Gartside himself. Thank you for the lesson sir
Thanks Jimmy, yeah Jack came twice to visit me here in Norway, he was a great tyer!
Really like this pattern, like how you tied in the foam, marking it with the db needle and then also marking and tying in the flashback giving a much neater finish. Will definitely have a go at this one
Thank you for sharing! Super simple tie and it looks killer to me! I like everything about this fly, I'm sure the Smallies my my river will go nuts for it. The fly has a very buggy look to it, the body segments, the single piece of flash boo for easy sight, the hackle for leggy body, and the high floating foam really add up to a very nice pattern! Thanks again for sharing, and what a treat to have the designer show you himself the pattern!
Thanks Michael, yes it is truly a great pattern from Jack that I am sure will work very well on the samallies.
The Gartside Gurgler is one of my favorite flies for smallmouth bass (fresh water). So many good variations of the basic design. I tie them from 2 cm for panfish up to 15 cm long for pike (a coating of UV resin on the foam helps with durability). If I had but two fly patterns to use for all my fishing the Gurgler would be one and a Clouser Minnow the other. All black and all white are my best producers and a perch pattern does well at times. Great fly, great designer - you are lucky to have had first hand instructions from the master! Cheers! Hank
I do like this version. I am fortunate enough to have a few of Jacks hand tied versions locked away to keep as a reference. I was lucky enough to take a tying class at his home before he got sick. His flies are timeless.
Thanks Pete, lucky man! I also have quite a few of Jack's most famous patterns in my collection, he was a great fly tyer!
I also have a softhackle deceiver of his stashed away to keep as a reference. I am slowly grabbing his books as they come up for sale. So much information he had to share.
Excellent sir, one of my favorit since i dycovert it, for pike here in Québec.
Glad you like it and it's working for you Hugo!!
Alsome pattern Barry !!.. I tied some of those in several different colors, Black, Yellow&Black, and Chartreuse&Black, I'm gonna see if I can catch a Large Mouth Bass on one. Thanks Very Much for Sharing this Pattern with us.
Thanks Mike, thats going to work, let me know!
Curious why you use multiple pieces of material like flash when one could be doubled, or two could make 4 flashers in the tail, rather than using three to make three flashers? Do you save the cut off pieces for another fly?
Just force of habit I guess!
СПАСИБО!!!

Great video! could you please tell me what bobbin you are using? Thank you...
Thanks UP96, it's a Marc Petitjean bobbin holder.
Where can I locate the foam you use. Everything I get from fly tying suppliers is too stiff - closed cell. Yours looks like it is open. The only thing I can find that looks close to what you use is a foam paint brush from the hardware store. Thanks really like the pattern
Hi Karen, I know exactly what you mean, but I am sorry I can remember where that foam came from its something I have had a long time and probably not from a fly tying store. When I come across materials that I believe may be useful I file them and forget about them until the day comes when I may need something to do a specific job. So sorry, you'll have to keep looking!
Karen, I'd suggest you check some of the office supply, craft, or hobby stores, such as "Michael's", etc. Probably about 2mm or 3mm in thickness.
hareline 2mm fly foam is perfect
Great fly . This is the first I’ve ever seen or heard of such a fly of this type. How is the best way to fish it? Is it a good trout fly? Thanks again sir.
Hi Leonard, its a great trout pattern especially fished at night! It also works very well in salt water for bass and sea run trout!
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Grayson Beckett Instablaster =)
@Bennett Asa I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Bennett Asa It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
I don't think Jack tied it this way. Nice fly though but seems a much longer process than the original.
Hi Patrick, thats the way Jack showed me how to tie the gurgler the first time he visited me here in Norway back in 96.
is this meant to imitate a mouse?
It is meant to imitate nothing except a surface disturbance that is a feeding trigger for predatory fish. You must give this pattern a go, it works very well...
This is a very simple pattern. Why do you try to make it look so complicated?
I just tie it the way Jack showed me, Jim.
