Traditional Spiders 1.
Orange Brown
Hook:     18 - 14.
Thread:  Well-waxed hot orange silk.
Hackle:   Well-marked red-brown feather from the marginal coverts of a woodcock.
Body:      Waxed hot orange silk very lightly dubbed with red-brown squirrel fur. The tying silk must clearly shine through the dubbing. The dubbing may be a little heavier just behind the hackle.
Our indigenous squirrel (European Red) now being rare, a substitute fur must be found. (Red-brown ‘possum used).
