Black and Peacock Spider

A really versatile wet fly that fishes well on the lake and river. Tying a Black and Peacock Spider is quick and easy. When fishing gets tough, this fly fishes well as a nymph on the lake for rising fish or when they are high in the water, and on the river it swings well as a wet or you can tie it with a bead and use it as a nymph.

Great to see this wonderful old soft hackle get a run. It and others like it have been responsible for some truly memorable moments over the past 30 years.

Thanks man,
Hard to say, but figure eight typically. Sometimes small fish love it with a fast rolly-polly though
