This might be upsetting to some, but I recently saw this Davie McPhail video and thought it to be an interesting twist to tying dry fly versions of some of the North Country Spiders.

Re: Waterhen Bloa Dry Fly
Thank you for sharing the link. I am a huge fan of Davy McPhail and his YouTube channel. The guy ties a mean fly!

McPhail never phails to inspire another session at the bench. His techniques are really helpful, I note how he holds onto the tail as he ties it in, the constant re-spinning of the dubbing to keep it tight (or dropping the spin where he wants to thicken it up.)

Great job, NightWatchman! I bet that slays the fish.
I fish wet flies with faith and hope, faith that trout don't require exactitude and hope that when my time comes, God will explain why wet flies work...

Re: Waterhen Bloa Dry Fly
Thanks Bocast. I watched that video by Davie and boy those flies looked buggy so I gave it a whirl and I have to say it does look like a killer.
