Re: Banana Spider
You know...... there are times when I wish my rod wraps were as tidy as your fly bodies!
That is a neat feather you used in the hackle, a step away from some of the more traditional yellow bodies spiders. I like it.

Remarkable fly, Tom. The hackle really elevates this pattern, imho.
