Yes, you've still got it! Beadless brilliance!
I especially like the orange body version. Is the hackle french partridge? Whatever it is, I love the markings. Very sharp dressing.

Ray, it is Partridge. This skin has a few feathers on each side that are colored this way.

You can also if you feel you need a bead put it on the tippet above the fly. That's what I do and it works just as well and makes the fly more versatile!!!!
