Spider Wet Fly & Caddis Larvae - Revisited

After looking at my previous spider wet fly post, I sat down to the fly tying table to refine the design.  The previous patterns still work well where I fish, but I wanted something that was an attractor nymph.  The following flies are not meant to imitate any particular aquatic insect.  My hope is that they will look pretty close to lots of trout food.
