Albino Olive Spider

Fly: Hans Weilenmann, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Kamasan B175 #14
Thread: Benecchi 12/0, olive
Hackle: Hen hackle, dyed medium olive
Tail: Dyed olive barred pintail barbs
Body: Guterman Holoshimmer silk, single strand
Underbody: Tying thread
Underbody thorax: Butts of tail barbs are wrapped around the shank to shape a slender thorax
Note: The body wraps are spaced to show the thread underbody ever so lightly, then start to open slightly more along the thorax area to allow the olive pintail barbs thorax to bleed through some.
