flytire 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2024 CK Nymph Hook - Curved style Thread - Black Body - Dubbed with black lamb's wool Legs - Grizzly saddle hackle tied closely over the body palmer-style and then clipped Originated by Chuck Kraft. The saddle hackle is clipped all around the body. As a rule of thumb, a size 10 hook would have legs extending out about the diameter of a pencil.

Note in the video Mr. Smith used blue silk thread to tie the fly but colored the thread black with a marker. I don't tie using silk thread so I substituted with white thread and a blue marker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done @flytire that spider came out really nice, @rickzeiger I like your Variations on the Pat’s rubber legs. I know some panfish who would be interested in those.

Trouttramp 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2024 Nice spider Norm. Did you use Heron fibres? If so, are they available? The body looks really buggy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2024 psst i used gray condor feather fibers from a tiny segment that i bought way back in the 1980's when i lived in colorado heron is illegal i the usa but you can buy a different species of heron from canada that is legal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2024 Norm is right...Blue Heron is illegal in the USA. But the Little Brown Heron is legal for import from Canada. I have some I bought from The Canadian Tube Fly Company ages ago. It really is quite good and has lots of uses. They are on their summer vacation shutdown at the moment. You can place an order, but it will not be shipped until the 3rd week of August. Another possible feather is the secondary from the blue goose. If you know a waterfowl hunter from the Midwest try talking to that person and you might get lucky. Those feathers I have are a perfect sub for a quill body that calls for Blue Heron. If I can find mine among the loads of stuff here...I'll post a photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
