Tokyo Spider

[Greg McWilliams]

This fly was introduced to us from a former member of BBG!!! Not sure what happened to him but his fly is good top water producer!!!

 This is tied with closed cell foam I use, 1mm. with 2 strips, length is 3"

by the width of the hook gap. The demo fly is on size 8 2x long hook but can be adjusted to the size hook you would like to use!!!!

The fly is tied in the middle third of the hook shank. Tie in the first piece a third of the way behind th eye, and bind down to two thirds of the length behind the eye!!

 The next piece of foam with the end extented out to the bend of the hook and bind the foam directly over the first piece of the foam!!!!!Pull the first piece over and bind it down, keep all your wraps in the center 1/3rd of the hook shank!!!!!Cut off the black foam to where it is extended out to the eye of the hook!!! Then fold the front foam back and bind down secure with tight wraps.Clip the yellow foam to create a wing!!!!! Using rubber legs attach two legs on each side of the fly!!!!!Whip finish and add a bit of rubber base cement or head cement to the legs and thread and you have a nice little topwater spider that the BLUEGILL love to attack.

Color combos are what ever you would like, I like contrasting colors.. A solid black could imitate a cricket... You are only limited by you IMAGINATION!!!!!

 To Doug where ever you are Your Fly is still alive on BBG!!!!!!
