mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2019 Short and sweet ... but something tells me you make it look easier than it really is. This is another design I don't usually try, since I'm not into catching 2 or 3 inch panfish. But it sure is a pretty fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Beautiful fly, Lucian, and I think you are enticing me to buy UV resin. Mike, tie it on a size bigger hook, #6 maybe? With duck breast feathers it could be a lot bigger or use rubber legs for hackle, as in Calcasieu Pig Boat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Maybe, but then it'd be more of a worm fly, not a spider, no? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 TJM, UV resin, especially colored one is making wave these days. Frankly I think any colored thread coated with a little bit of transparent resin or head cement will provide the same results Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Mike, maybe, but I think it would catch bigger sunfish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Lucian, I believe you're right and it's really not much different than coating in enamel or head cement as far effect. But it looks to be easier and possibly more durable. If only it didn't cost so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is another design I don't usually try, since I'm not into catching 2 or 3 inch panfish. But it sure is a pretty fly. North Country Spiders were not designed to catch 2-3 inch panfish, there were created to catch trout and grayling, sizes measured in pounds and tens of inches.

I know what they're designed for. I also know there are no trout or grayling in Florida. Hence, when I tie on a tiny little fly, I get tiny little fish.

FIN-ITE 34 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Not a trout or grayling. Spiders are among the best patterns of all to try for different species. I love small dark spiders for roach, rudd and dace. That said, brighter colours are also great fly patterns for bluegills, crappies and other US “panfish”! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 11, 2019 Neat tie. Did you get the UV resin already dyed that color or did you just dye some clear resin? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2019 that is ready dyed in different colors Is that the stuff flybox is selling in UK? Can see a great use for the gap in treble hooks when using free swinging cones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2019 Great video. It is a great example of rotary vise tying. And a really nice fly. Thanks Lucian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
