Here’s a one-hit wonder. I tied it, fished it with great success one trip, and have hardly a bite with it since that unforgettable May day. I always fish two, one dropped off the bend of the hook of the lead fly. This Lazy Spider caught nearly all of the fish, and I changed the trailing fly just out...

Double like.

Thanks, SenecaLaker! Your emerger post is killer.

Oooooh, that’s good lookin’. Great tie. Just add water.

Thanks, Ray (letumgo) and Bill (tie2fish). I love tying these things. Soft hackles and flymphs are just somehow more gratifying to tie than any other style of fly. Not sure how that works.

Just tying for fun. Tail is from a scrap grouse feather, body is rabbit cheek dubbed split-thread style, hackle is quail.

Beautiful and sparse!

Thanks, PhilA.
