The Gurgler, as one of the best surface flies for predatory fish, be used this pattern all over the world on many different species.
It’s an effective topwater fly, what’s more exciting than seeing a big fish eat from the surface? The Gurgler can be fished slowly to create a V-shaped wake or popped aggressively on a floating line to attract fish from far away.
The Gurgler is light in weight so it casts pretty well, but it’s the visual eye candy of watching topwater strikes that makes the Gurgler so much fun to fish, which can catch everything from striped bass, to pond bluegills, and Florida tarpon, fresh or saltwater fish.
