Rusty Spider
LFT-N129.12Description
The Rusty Spider belongs to the time-honored family of North Country spider patterns from the Yorkshire Dales, which emerged in the early 19th century and became widely known through T. E. Pritt's 1885 book "Yorkshire Trout Flies". Its rust-brown coloring follows the minimalist construction of this pattern family, for which no single inventor can be named anymore.
The Rusty Spider is classically fished wet, across the current with a natural drift - its soft hackle creates lively movement in the water. A proven pattern for trout and grayling.
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.
