Simple seems to be the order of the day. I'm just flushing out a new box with some classic soft hackles today and thought I'd share.

Aaron,

you're on fire. That's a great spider, man. I'm dying to get to my vise. I love these sparse little spiders and 6a is a great tone.

Very pretty! Also, nicely photographed. A gem of a fly for sure.

Top notch craftsmanship and lovely color combo.
