Re: Quill Spiders...
Very nice.
I'm a bit weak on quill bodies, but here's one I've tied and fished over the last four months or so. Seems to work well for small caddis hatches:

Re: Quill Spiders...
Niklas,
Beautiful flies. Well done.
I tied up some quill-bodied wets a few months ago, but I ran a very thin amount of Flexament down the quills before I wrapped them, let it get sticky, lightly touched dubbed them, and then wrapped them. It gave the bodies a very nice halo effect. I finally got to try them out a couple of weeks ago and they were very effective. I am a big fan of quill bodied flies.

Re: Quill Spiders...
Excellent spiders! I love the look of the segmented quill abdomens. Beautiful work and terrific photography, too. Thanks for sharing.

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