| Tying Instructions |
I tied a March Brown Spider. Dave Huges calls it "this author's very
favorite fly when it comes to searching a riffle or a run at a time when no
insects are hatching and no trout are rising." Sounded useful.
It's an easy tie. Tie in Partridge butt first at the front of the hook
with the feather extending over the eye. Wrap the thread back to the bend
of the hook. Tie in ribbing material. Dub body forward to where hackle is
tied in. Wind rib forward in three or four turns. Tie off. Rib. Wind
hackle back in only one or two turns. Keep the hackle sparse. Many people
strip one side of the feather prior to winding. Tie off hackle. Work
thread back through hackle in one or two turns to the eye. Form head and
whip finish. A nice, fast sturdy fly. |
