A two tone body was created by wrapping tan Widow's Web over the abdomen and orange over the thorax. Hook is a Tiemco 200R. Widow's Web in "polar bear" is used for a shucking tail. Note Alberto's use of dun colored ostrich fibers wrapped behind the hackle collar. Divided wings are made from "polar bear" Widow's Web. Widow's Web in "polar bear" is a slightly off-white color with sheen. It provides a nice glittering effect on the water. Compared with calf tail, the low-bulk nature of this material helps when tying a fly with multiple materials. With wings of "smoke" Widow's Web, Rob built this fly with a wild turkey biot wrapped smooth for the body and dun hackle. Black Widow's Web can be a very visible color! When fishing where there is glare, this black material creates quite a contrast against the surface of the water. Divided wings are made with tan Widow's Web This frontal view shows a well balanced catskill-style fly using tan Widow's Web for the divided wings. Note the "smoke" Widow's Web has been "mottled" by using a permanent marker This BWO uses "smoke" Widow's Web for the divided wing. Parachute post of white Widow's Web. Here red Widow's Web has been chosen to match the red abdomen of this attractor fly. Olive Widow's Web is used to match the olive dubbed thorax. White and black Widow's Web and doll eyes are all applied to a size 2/0 Mustad 3407 hook using flat waxed nylon thread. A thick parachute of orange Widow's Web makes this an effective "indicator" fly should you wish to hang a nymph off the bend of the hook with a short piece of tippet. Tail is a mixture of red and orange fibers from a Golden Pheasant, body dubbing is cream, and hackle is ginger. This is an easy-to-tie all-synthetic hopper. Photo is slightly angled so you can see the shape of the body. Evazote foam is about 3mm and less dense than 2mm craft foam. Tan Widow's Web is used for the wing Classic soft-hackle design. Chartreuse Widow's Web wound for the body replaced the traditional green floss. This is a Gary Borger design. The wing is tan Widow's Web and V-shapes have been clipped into the top and bottom of the hackle, so hackle fibers splay out mostly to the sides. Orange Widow's Web has been used for the tail of my favorite fly for bass and panfish. It is patterned after Jack Gartside's "Gurgler", but with a lower "lip" to create a popper face. Pictured here on a size 8 dry fly hook, with a body constructed of 2mm foam. Step-by-step instructions can be found in the "My Favorite Flies" section of this site.
