I have seen several tying videos/photos of Pritt’s Winter Brown spider. Is it meant to imitate a specific winter (or late season) insect?

From the book

Notes

A favourite early fly on all the Yorkshire rivers, killing well on wild, windy days in March and April. The wings assume a lighter shade in the course of ten days after its first appearance on the water, when it is commonly
dressed as the little winter brown, or light woodcock shown on the next page.

I saw patches of urine stained fox at Beaverkill Angler going for 120.00. The last time I checked they were gone.

At that price I'd **** on my own fox fur.
