This I an outstanding tutorial! I've spent a great deal of time tying, fishing and studying the history and techniques of the north country spider patterns and I still picked up some new and useful information from your video. Well done sir.

[@mikelundrigan2285]

Quite interesting! I am somewhat surprised that using wide gap short shank hooks, tying bodies just to the point etc., things I figured out on my own over 56 years tying flys and fishing are the recommended methods! I guess if you do something long enough, some truths will be revealed to you! Thanks!

Extremely informative, thanks for sharing.

I have actually purchased my first silk tying threads and special hooks and a partridge cap so I can tie up these pieces of history. GREAT VIDEOS THANKS

[@johnshand6176]

Thanks for such an informative video. I've just started tying spiders so your excellent demonstration and historical knowledge were quite inspirational. I like the Norvise too and miss the late Norm Norlanders exemplary service. I've fished BC, Ontario and Nova Scotia plus various states of the USA so have a special affinity with your part of the world. Regards from down-under in NZ.

Excellent love the background story and history - great precision tying. I am going to speculate that these flies were made with materials available in the industrial North of England - silk from the textile factories - starling etc where a common pest bird.....

Great tutorial

[@stuartjones7903]

good video but a Moorhen is not the same as a Coot ,its a different bird

[@GaryHanke]

Yes we know but it is the closest thing to it in North America. And will be sufficient as a replacement feather.

Great tutorial as for the recipes can you be a little more specific on what site your using United Kingdom sites is a bit broad thank you

[@jamesormston8075]

Try Robert Smith Author of the north country fly, truly the keeper of the north country patterns, and is a local chap from the heart of where it began over 150+ years ago.

[@martybennetts8076]

Great work, and very informative. Where does one get hold of the recipe list you mentioned please.

[@garyhanke5990]

Thank you...I usually just google up recipes which I prefer to get from United Kingdom sites as I find they are typically more accurate than other sites. There are also some very good books published in the UK over the decades.
