Yes, the hackle is partridge.
Yes, the body is orange, but it's not silk thread.

Mercy! My goodness, that's a fly to be proud of. If I tied that I'd just display it somewhere just to look at.

Yep! I'd fish it in a heart beat! It is a very good looking pattern, almost display worthy! I'll take just a half dozen!
Lot's of laughs my friend! A really good looking and original pattern! Please keep them coming! This is exciting!
