All about flies Fly Tying

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

Thanks for looking.

love it what did you use for thread

Danville’s white 6/0 . The thread is colored with markers and coated with flexament head cement.

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… :slight_smile:

Wow, now thats a fly.
2 questions.

  1. Have you ever fished one.
    2)How long does it take to tie one

Thanks, this guy will probably be my tying desk mascot

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.

Thanks Dave.

Hate to put you on the spot Fred but I agree with Denny would love to see it as the “fly of the week”

My 8 year old loved it and wants to know the mascots name.
