McBrien’s DKS II

Found the squirrel skin; the fur closer to the belly is what I was looking for.

”Little blue spider”

Hook.    ......  Gaelic supreme. Sz 14

Thread. ......  Pearsall's gossamer grey

Body.    .......   “.       “.        “

Ribbing. .....  Pearsall's gossamer nbr 7 blue

Hackle.  ....   Brown shaded Hungarian partridge

Your spider is perfectly tied.  I see just the right amount of hackle and the body stops between the hook point and the barb, right where it should be.  Nice work!  Too often I see North Country spiders over-hackled, which defeats the purpose and effect of the hackle.

@TSMcDougald   Thanks much. That’s a Rube Cross fly and I’m having trouble remembering its name at the moment.

McBrien’s DKS II

Great looking collar on that one, SB!  Is that a dubbing loop or split thread collar?  The more I see and use any kind of squirrel, tail and body hair, the more I like it.

Looks more like 'Moshup Magic' to me, very nice ties, as always.  Thanks for posting them.
