Alan
has been fly dressing and fishing for 14 years. He demonstrates fly
dressing at the various fishing and game fairs around the country
during the summer, and spends time during the winter visiting various
fishing clubs and associations, giving fly dressing shows spiced with a
little conjuring (which is his other passion). He mostly fishes for
wild trout and grayling in the Ribble, Hodder, and Aire Rivers in
Northwest England.
The
traditional patterns on these rivers are the now famous North Country
Spiders, and they are as effective as ever.
Included here are modern style spiders using holographic tinsel
bodies. Detailed instructions for any of the following flies are
available through the above email address.
