Spiders are great, spiders are efficient, spiders are simple deadly. Yellow version is one of them so here they are:
Tying Recipe:
*Demmon W633 #12
*Yellow thread
*Thorax made of peacock 2-4 turns
*Hackle – Partridge grey selected (neck area)
Tyips in tying: use a simple yellow thread, silk is the classic one used but a synthetic body thread is perfect. Just do not make the body thick, slim is the best. Use only one turn on small flies ( 14-16 ) and 2 turns on size #12-10.

Spiders, or soft hackles as Americans like me call them, are very deadly fly.

Hi Steven, Yes, completely agree :). In the last 4-5 years I love to fish with these flies. I found them extremely effective in certain moments 🙂

Beautiful example. I have fished soft hackles as a principle method for some time. but have been slow to tie North Country style. A book ” North Country Flies” by Robert Smith has changed my tying enjoyment and I can’t wait for Fall weather to try out these patterns. Thanks for sharing.
