It really doesn't take too much material on a fly for it to work. These spiders are awesome!

It is a fantastic piece of work and should be in any serious tyers library.<br /><br />Love the Waterhen Bloa, that would be gobbled up on the Tees or Leven without a doubt. Although the spiders look delicate and frail, I find their hooking powers increase after they have been roughed up a bit by a few trouts teeth.<br /><br />Take care and be safe<br /><br />AlistairAlistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389466523719234443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-79198052429236589662020-03-29T12:39:21.078-04:002020-03-29T12:39:21.078-04:00That book is a wonderful resource.

The first one is a Partridge spider hook and they are a small 12 where as the other is tied on a Firestick 609 and they tend to be a bit larger as well as heavier. Both are great hooks for these types of flies.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-87268115126175848862020-03-29T09:56:45.971-04:002020-03-29T09:56:45.971-04:00Alan,
