My next interpretation of a spider from the Roger Fogg book is the "Poult Bloa", which he describes as being "... one of the most famous and heralded of north-country patterns". This dressing was regarded as an excellent imitation of the English blue-winged olive nymphs as well as the emerging adult. However, Fogg feels that it was originally tied as an imitation of pale watery olives, and that it was probably first dubbed with a grey fur body instead of reddish-brown.
Hook: Daiichi 1640, #14
Thread: Pearsall's Gossamer #3, primrose
Hackle: Immature grouse underwing covert (Fogg calls for a "small slate-blue or 'bloa' feather from the undecoverts of a young grouse")
Body: Waxed primrose silk lightly dubbed with fur from the top (spine) area of a pine squirrel (as a sub for red squirrel fur)
Some of the same morons who throw their trash around in National parks also vote. That alone would explain the state of American politics. ~ John Gierach, "Still Life with Brook Trout"
