Lovely! Perfectly proportioned fly. I love the color of the hackle.

A very cool fly. Great proportions and colours.

Donald, nice pattern and well tied.
My mind I'd seriously slipping, so I may know this, but I'm not remembering Taff. Should I?

Re: Taff's Green Partridge
Taff, refers to Taff Price a Welsh tyer. I was going to say a Welsh dresser,
but I didn't.
He dressed this fly in any colour, excepting, he used
natural partridge and peacock herl.
I thought it would be a nice variant on
the Partridge & Orange.
Ray! maybe he should have been.
A Tenkara version would work, also substituting
coloured wire for the wool.
