Hi there all,
Stewarts Spider
This is probably a bit scruffy, even for a Stewarts!
It's on a buzzer #16 because I am out of B160's but i do like the 'short shank look'. It really looks like it could do the business on my little river... can't wait to give it a try.

On this forum, sparse is beautiful and you've got a dandy! I like the bite of this style of hook! Stewart would be proud indeed! Please, keep them coming!

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

Very nice, one of my favorite patterns.
This is one of those flies that you show
non-fly tying folks, and they look dissapointed,
expecting to see some sort of fly with exotic
feathers and fancy material. But it WORKS!
Thanks for posting.

I've had West Slope Cutthroat take a size 14 Baillie's (Stewart's) black spider in the middle of an October Caddis hatch. I assume (and that's dangerous) the Spider looked more alive than the actual Caddis did. My Go-To fly on most rivers.
