Oh man, those are fantastic! I took one look at the first one and it was like having an epiphany. Brilliant design. You can bet I will be emulating these.
WOW! What a way to start a new year! Gotta be a good sign.

Thank you Ruard
The first is
Hook -mustad 3906b in 18
thread/abdomen- Benecchi 12/0 tobacco
tail- Pheasant tail (rooster)
rib- tag end of thread colored black (sharpie pen)
thorax peacock herl
collar-- brown hen
the second fly
Previous flies are tyed like the first pattern of this thread, just different colored threads and permanent marker.
These patterns are far from fancy, but I am hoping that they will be functional.
Hook- mustad 3906b in 18
thread/abdomen- Benecchi 12/0 tobacco
tail -Pheasant tail (rooster)
rib tag end of thread colored black (sharpie pen)
thorax- wee folk dubbing (Peacock) from

collar- brown hen
third fly
Hook- mustad 3906b in 18
thread/abdomen- Benecchi 12/0 tobacco
tail -Pheasant tail (rooster)
rib tag -end of thread colored black (sharpie pen)
thorax- wee folk dubbing (Peacock) from
http://www.flytyersdungeon.com/
wingcase/legs- white polypropelene colored brown with a sharpie
The rest of the patterns on this thread are just copies of the first pattern. A change in thread, permanent marker and hen hackle makes for alot of different combinations.
I will try them out as soon as I can.

Wayne, I'm sorry I'm late in saying so, but good lord, this is a beautiful stack of spiders. It's a simple technique that makes for a very compelling body, and those hackles are going to prove spot on. Nicely done, and thanks for posting all these.

thank you so much DUBBN. I just read a book about fly tying with 3 materials except for the hook and the thread. there he uses also the technic of coloring the tag end.

I'm slow, and far behind, which means I won't be able to comment on all flies worthy of comments. Just have to say that this fly:
is over the top when it comes to class of it's own. I'm talking of class as in built in confidence. To me, this is a stunning fly.
