If you know anyone who shoots game birds just about any will do. If you offer to skin the birds and oven prep them you'll get the skin for nothing most of the time. By far my favourite is Golden Plover, but that is hard to get and expensive.

Something I don't understand is these flies have been called "spiders" or "North Country Flies" for over 400 years. Why the sudden name change?

Cheers,
