We love flies with a story! Allan Liddle shares this about these special flies!
"Recently I was driving home and got a call from a good friend of mine, which was about flies we'd been gifted from other fishing buddies over the years. One of these is a pattern of flies from Henry Lockhart called the "Game Spider," which he tied in olive, Hare's Lug and black. These were (and still are) deadly. A simple spider based fly I've caught with either fished slowly sub-surface (swing in the wind a good way to present these), or "ginked" up as a dry.
I thought it would be good to show these guys off and make sure old "H's" killer pattern isn't lost to us all."
Allan ties this with Classic Waxed Thread and while the original is tied with Pearl Tinsel, Allan ties his with Micro Glint in Pearl which makes this fly a little more robust to the teeth of wild brown trout! Lovely tying as always, Allan!
