The Beadhead Orange Spider Barbless Size 14 adds a small copper bead to the traditional Partridge-and-Orange soft-hackle style. The orange body offers a warm trigger, while the sparse hackle moves in the current and suggests an emerging or drowned insect rather than a rigid copy of one species.
Use it as the point fly in a team of spiders, particularly at the head of pools, through riffles or where a little extra depth is needed. Cast upstream or across, maintain light contact and allow a natural drift. A gentle lift at the end can imitate an insect rising towards the surface.
