Great post! I had never thought of using a gurgler! Keeping in touch with the fly and the hook set are so critical. Did you use droppers at all? I had a similar experience one night with worms and they only would take a small !1 1/2") olive and orange flatwing, ignoring the GP and the other worm fly I had on. That night, my best results were when I'd cast almost directly upstream and strip the line in to keep in touch with the fly.
