Spider Fishing - A Primer
How to fish Spiders
Spiders (or Soft Hackle) flies are one of the most popular flies in rivers today, and for good reason. They are very easy to fish and a really effective method at the beginning of the trout season!
Usually fished in a team of either 2 or 3, and sometimes even 4. They are a great searching technique, especially in the early season when the rivers can be higher than normal and there are no obvious hatches.
