With some floatant this should be situated just in the surface, or fished just underneath the surface for some good action!

I found a deep green hackle deep in my hackle box that really matched the mohair in the body. A patch that I didn’t remember, but showed up just in time for this pattern that I believe in: the color, the movement and shape should give plenty of trout this summer! A variant should be a spider-version without the wing
Body: Cinnamon brown mohair
Legs: Red ,small
Wing: Starling, wing

The mohair here is not cinnamon, but the closest I had to be true to the pattern.

A spider pattern that should give plenty of movement and fish! The grouse hackle is something I should use more of going forward with variants over this pattern!
https://flytyer.org have been running for a long time, it was initiated a long time ago, and the plan was to build up a site with a community around it. The site never got much traction, and with constant updates and a lack of features I have decided to close it down.
I will get something back up on flytyer.org in the future, but with a real plan and content around it. The domain is good, and it deserves something better than it has today.
Thanks to those that used it, and It will be back in the future!
