I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: Turton's Red Spider
Lovely pattern, Carl. I enjoy seeing these Turton patterns. This one looks very effective. Nice and buggy!
Do you know what make/model hook you used? I don't recognize it. I like the look of the long shank.

Re: Turton's Red Spider
I like this pattern as well.
Sorry, the hook is a Tiemco 101 #16.

Re: Turton's Red Spider
That looks like it would ring the dinner gong for most any self respecting trout.
Great pattern.

Re: Turton's Red Spider
I have already mentioned this to Carl (Old Hat) and thought it might
be useful to remind everyone of the 'philosophy'
of creating an article on old and rather forgotten patterns.
The idea is to show that old patterns can be used in a modern context,
thus they don't get forgotten and stimulate new ideas.
I hope you (all) tie up a few and give them a test run on your local fish, remember
they were meant for use on brown trout and European grayling, feeding on European insects.
Any one of them could turn out to be, as the old timers used to say,
"a real killer" and a fly of the future instead of the past.

Splendid, Mr. Hat!
