Herl is such a killer body material. This is a goto pattern for me. I've never been able to find the proper hackle though. Doesn't matter the fly fishes so well. I generally omit the tag when I get down to #20 and below. Mainly because I have trouble seeing. Really digging this trout series!
Lovely spider Martyn. Well explained and tied. Many thanks.
