Developed by the late Jack Gartside, the Gurgler has found use on both coasts of the U.S. as a striper and all-purpose saltwater fly, and in interior lakes and rivers as one of the most effective large- and smallmouth bass patterns there is. Tim Flagler shows his techniques for tying one of the most interesting and popular surface patterns in fly fishing.
