Keeping it simple for once.
Some tied for my fly box, Simple spiders. As these for the loch they are over hackled. If these were for the river, they would have about 1/3rd of the hackle these have. For some reason, on the lochs, the fish want something with more hackle.

Hook: Wet fly 10 - 14. (mine are on 12s)
Thread: Black UTC 170. (Or you can match the body colour if you like)
Rib: Fine Gold Oval. (No need to counter wrap as the rib is wound on a different pitch to the body)
Body: Wound herl. (I've used colour extracted and dyed pheasant tail but any herl long enough to wind would do)
Hackle: Grey feather from the shoulder of a brown partridge.
These would be fished as the point fly in a team of three.
Cheers,
A.
