Wet Spiders Barbless Flies

– classic patterns perfected for the modern angler. Rooted in 19th-century North Country heritage, these barbless wet flies use the timeless spider style to imitate emerging insects with minimal fuss and maximum effectiveness. Their sparse construction – traditionally tied with soft hackles, fine silks, and natural dubbing – creates a delicate profile that’s irresistible to feeding trout.

Expertly tied by Turrall, these barbless spider flies are crafted using premium materials, echoing the classic combinations of peacock herl,, partridge, and coloured silks that have stood the test of time. Designed for ethical fly fishing, the barbless hooks offer solid hooking and safe, fish-friendly release. Ideal for both rivers and stillwaters, they fish beautifully on a floating line with a long leader. Swing them across and down, or allow a dead drift during a hatch to imitate hatching or drowned insects.

Whether you’re stocking your fly box for the season or seeking patterns with proven performance, troutcatchers – a trusted UK retailer – offers the full range of Turrall wet flies. From traditional favourites to reliable modern blends, these barbless trout flies offer superb quality, value, and fish-catching confidence.
