AHHHH!!!! SPIDERS!!!! ( just kidding around. sorry. couldn't help myself.)

These are great Dennis. I also saw these posted over on the Fly Tying Forum. Nice to see you participating there as well. I enjoy seeing your flies.

Great flies! I really like the black spider on the B160. I had thought about tying these on this hook myself. I'm happy to see it looks as good as I thought it would. I had never been happy with the way it looked on longer shanked hooks. Although, the fish have never minded. Great job- I think the old masters would be proud.

Ready for action.

Dennis,

These are nicely done. I'm a fan of the B160 hook as well. The last round of CDL spiders that I tied were on this hook and I like everything about it.

great examples.
