Very much appreciate the history and tying video of these lovely flies. I have been fishing the North Country flies here on my streams in the mid-Atlantic in the US.

Well that was an eye opener, the history of these flies have great stories, and as always through your videos and your book, makes the understanding a lot easier, thank you Robert.

Love the history and the NC spiders. Here in the USA Appalachian area they are as deadly as they come durning a hatch. Maybe next year I make it to Yorkshire to fish one of the streams.
