Hi,

I've been a big fan of North Country Spiders for quite a few years now. They are a very sparse tie when tied traditionally, and it can take a bit of self control to not over do the hackle (i.e. strip one side of the feather, and then it's just one to one and a half turns - honest!), the temptation is to add more, but two or three turns overloads the hackle. And dubbing on these is another exercise in restraint. Anyway, I've not got this book, but will start looking to see if I can find a copy.
