Here I tie three classic north country spider patterns - the Snipe and Purple, the Partridge and Orange, and the Woodcock and Red - hence the “A and B” moniker! These are the simplest of the spider patterns (we will get to here heads, wings, and the like soon, don't worry!). But whilst these may be very minimalist flies, they can be technically challenging to tie; with such very fine and fragile game and wild feathers, a delicate touch (and sometimes some swearing!) is required, and will be built upon with the more complex patterns.
