very fine, thankyou.. John Atherton describes some spider/skaters with size 16 hooks and up to 2 1/2 inch diameter hackles... I would love to see you try one.. if any one can you can.. :D Again, thanks.
Also, see Davie McPhail's UTube channel, he has a video showing an Argentine Skater or Spider dry fly that's just hook 'n hackle; but, the hackle is tied on in a specific way. It is a cool fly, BTW!
A fantastic looking fly. Nice work! :-)
Awesome demonstration on a classic. Thread foundation is very misunderstood as far as winding hackle, setting wings etc. Well done!
Lovely looking fly Nick. Nicely tied and well explained. Many thanks.
Love it. I always thought that the stem or quill body looked better on dry flies.
