I love using pheasant tail on lots of wet flies. It's always a catcher color. I use the brassie with the pheasant tail fibers wrapped then copper over it. I can make thehead from any color but most of the time just a tiny wrap of a peacock.
Hi, and thanks for the great video. Very instructional. Do you ever sub dubbing for the hurl? If so, what material/color? Also, swing only on the style of fishing? Dropper from a dry, or maybe dead-drift? Thanks again!!
Awesome fly buddy. Love the soft hackle look with them Partridge Feathers. That would produce lovely action in the water. What size fly was that again?
I know you said this is a very effective fly the way it is. I am out of partridge! Will another soft hackle work do you think? I have so many feathers I don't want to buy anymore right now. Did you ever try it with a tail? I am wondering if there is a situation in which a tail might help. Thanks for your experience. Let me know what you think. I never buy bags of feathers but before I buy another skin, I think I may have to try them. Let me know about different soft hackle. All the best, Sean
Good looking pattern. I have had better luck tying in partridge and other similar game bird feathers by the tip, and stripping off half the fibers for a sparser look. Just a suggestion.
Love your tying style ; simple , elegant
This really is a fantastic fly.

Across and down, with a couple of mends - the classic wet fly swing.
What is the hook size? Really nice.

Most soft hackles do not have a tail.
