Grouse Yellow Spider
LFT-NA24.16Description
The Grouse Yellow Spider belongs to the family of North Country spider patterns, which emerged in the Yorkshire Dales in the early 19th century and became widely known through T. E. Pritt's 1885 book "Yorkshire Trout Flies". Characteristic of this pattern family is naming by hackle feather and body color - here the soft feather of the grouse paired with a yellow silk body.
The Grouse Yellow Spider is classically fished wet across the current; its soft, mobile hackle simulates the movement of rising insects in the water - a proven pattern for trout and grayling on northern English rivers.
Fair Trade, Full Circle
Your flies are tied fairly, with the best materials, on a barbless hook. "Fliegenfischen mit Herz" is building a base for women in Nairobi. The women there own and run the tying workshop themselves, giving them economic independence, pride in their craft, and joy in their customers. Let's work together toward a more balanced world.
