The Fulling Mill Spider Hare & Partridge merges old-world charm with tactical modernity in a fly built for subtle presentations and stealthy strikes. Inspired by classic North Country spiders, this barbless wet fly features a soft partridge hackle and buggy hare’s ear body—creating natural movement and a lifelike silhouette in the film or just below it.
From technical tailwaters to freestone streams, this pattern excels when fish are keyed in on emerging insects or drifting nymphs. Whether swung, dead-drifted, or fished as a dropper, it’s an indispensable choice for the thoughtful trout angler.
