This is a great fly, as effective as the one born in 1990 to fish the waters of the Jackson Hole, the idea was to improve the famous Madame X and really did.
As I recall in those days it was not very common to see large dry fly attractor as it is possible to see them today and I consider that the Turks Tarantula along with other models were paving the way for this great and effective group of dry flies, so common and used nowadays . In addition to great buoyancy and a very good appearance in the water, the TT is a fly very easy to see when we fish in currents of agitated surfaces where it is often almost impossible to clearly distinguish our fly.
