The Yellow & Partridge Spider is a traditional North Country pattern that continues to prove its worth on modern rivers. With its sparse yellow body and soft partridge hackle, this fly perfectly imitates emerging insects and drowned duns, making it deadly effective during hatches. Ideal for upstream or across-and-down presentations, it shines in both fast riffles ...
The Irish Gold & Partridge wet fly is tied in a minimalist style and is a superb pattern for river fishing. I remembered this model while I was in the workshop mixing and painting some dubbings, and I was thrilled to recreate this color. I received it many years ago from an Irish friend who ...
What all of us know is that the Orange and Partridge wet fly is a time-tested pattern that continues to produce results for anglers.

I consider them the simplest and most effective colors because we find them everywhere in nature, in all waters, on all insects.

Is not a soft hackle fly. This model is dedicated for large and strong waters with fast currents where the soft hackle does not work. I noticed that in big and strong waters, the flies tied with the soft hackle feathers don't really work, only if you cast upstream. But in this case fishing is difficult, ...
