Use the small grey neck feathers for north country spider patterns, they make a nice soft mobile hackle.

Hook - 14 down eyed wet
Hackle - 1 or 1.5 turns of small grey neck feather from a pigeon
Body - Stippped peacock quill, or silk thread of your chioce
Rib - fine gold or silver wire (Optional)

Use the tail feathers to provide wings for wet flies
