Really nice mate. They should all get you fish. Third one down for me but im a sucker for a hares ear/buggy looking thing.

I really like you hackles on the spiders. I like em nice and sparse like that.

Thanks very much folks. Glad the 3rd one down seems to be the preferred one as im a total sucker for hares eary-bugs too!! Im surprised at how tricky it is to get the hackle "right" on spiders.
Thanks again
Scotty

Getting the hackle right on spiders is difficult. Ideally and aesthetically (

), I'd prefer the hackle just a tad shorter. Not that it would make any difference to their catchability. They'll catch alright. Like the short body. Like 'em
