Tying a Grey & Red Spider (Dry Fly) with Davie McPhail

Davie ties a Grey and Red Spider, an extremely effective all-round dry fly that generally imitates a range of dark duns and other flies. Tied here with spent-style wings, the Grey and Red makes a big footprint in the film, and is just as effective on the river as on stillwater.
