Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Grand contribution! Thanks for sharing.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: Light Greenwell Spider
Very nice indeed....... 
Question: why does one "Very well waxed" the thread if for one, the fly is meant to sink, and two, if there is no dubbing involved? Just curious.............
Over the years i've only used wax for dry flies.....and now use floatant instead. Although i still use wax occassionally when using a dubbing loop for steelhead/salmon fishing flies, or artistics.
Is this just a Pearsall's "thing." Is it no good wiffout wax? Tkx.

Re: Light Greenwell Spider
Can you explain how the fly is tied in the style of Alice Conba ? It just looks like a standard hackled Greenwell to me.
