    Default Fishing Spider

    This is my take on a six spotted fishing spider tied on a size #12 hook.


    Thanks for looking.

    This is a super fly... I don't think I'd fish that one, I'd put that one in a shadow box and tie another to fish...

    No I have not fished this one. It took about three hours for the first one. Trying to figure how to get it to turn out looking like a spider

    Yes the legs are mono wrapped in thread. The mono alone does not hold the colors of the markers well.
