Good morning Jeff,
"Stewart recommended about 3 spider patterns would be all one really needed".

Do you have a image or dressing for the 3 by any chance..please.

As I am now interested in the colours after finding/seeing how the two tone hackle turned out. To me, this simple 'trick' was a major discovery for me, as it produces a real insect look, ( darker on top, lighter under side) which I hoped to have already tested on a real live victim, but sadly somethings always get in the way of my plans of late, so its next seasons adventure and discovery now that waits ahead of me.

BUT
I will test the two tone Spider on our local Bass, shortly.

Kind regards,
UB
