This and the other two as well are beautiful little spider patterns; my preference is the Orange", but I'm certain they all will catch fish under the proper conditions.

Wow. That little hen hackle packs a lot of impact. Just enough to keep up with the rest of the composition. Can you elaborate on how you made that thorax? Is it a feather fiber wrapped on the shank, twisted around the thread and wrapped, or"dubbed" to the tying thread. Its wonderfully done and very inspiring. Thanks for posting this. (great shots too)

I pull about 3 fluffy fibers from the bottom of a saddle hackle trap it in the thread and then wrap it in.
