So why is this called a Tokyo Spider? It was in Japan that I first tried fly fishing, so that name caught my eye.

Doug's Tokyo Spider, With a little modification. Tied on a size 8 3xl hook. Great fly, do not see how a 7" blue gill swallowed it whole but he did. Doug not sure where you went but thanks for pattern.
