cheers Alex, i was having the discussion with Brian, we were using big wind resistant  stimulators, and getting twist, so were talking about stepping up to 4x, would even help with  bigger fish . i'll get a spool for next season.

Col, it's worth getting a slightly stiffer material too. With stroft, even stepping up an X rating or two you still end up with a bit of twist, a lot in some cases. I had major issues with this using humpy style flies and sometimes even the deer hair wulff. Rio powerflex seemed better for the larger flies.

Tied a couple of these tonight... My interpretation of a Clyde Sand Fly from Bert's wee red book.....

Defo killers. I was oot the day and grayling were on what I would call black pheasant tail with a silver rib and the pink shrimp.

All this talk of spiders I thought I'd post a few of my dodgy tying's, don't really have many of the correct materials at the moment so have improvised, splitting silk yarn etc.

3 black spiders and a red (or not so red) and three flies I tie for sea trout. All a bit scrappy really, any pointers most welcome  :?  

Meant to add sizes, spiders on B170 14 and the others, 10s (1 x B175 and 2 x low water singles).
