Re: All Partridge
Now I like that one a lot!
Caught a nice fish on an aftershaft fly this year. Quite a while ago I'd read of Gartside's Wet Mouse and tied a couple with partridge aftershafts (didn't have pheasant). I didn't think it looked at all like a mouse, either wet or dry, and I probably carried the flies for months before actually using one, but I picked up a fish on the second or third cast.
Yours is a lot more elegant. Very nice. I think I'll tie a few more (using your proportions this time).

Re: All Partridge
That is wonderful, I must try one.
Often I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, brier scarred, sunburned, mosquito bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand have I been in a place that was less than beautiful.
