Olive Spider

[Old Hat]

Hook: #16 Daiichi 1330
Thread: Pearsall's gossamer silk olive
Thorax: peacock
Hackle: partridge dyed olive

One for the little olive hatch. The hackle, peacock and thread are twisted, wrapped back and tied off at the rear of the thorax.

That is a nice looking fly!! Also interesting that have twisted those three things together. Must try it myself!

Great effect! I loved the twisted combination thorax/hackle. Should also be very durable.

Luck.

Really. They don't all turn out so neat, but the fish don't mind. If there is a trick it's to not over twist and keep the materials sparse. At least in my mind.
