Re: Squirrel Spider
I am just a sucker for lemon woodduck barbs as tailing material, Mike

Re: Squirrel Spider
More seriously - in spite of its delicate appearance I have found lemon woodduck tails to be remarkably resilient and durable, so my choice for them on many patterns is also one of practical application . Their subtle markings are a main draw for me, though, which in turn feeds into fishing with confidence.
