Re: Partridge & Orange; but Different!
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.
Re: Partridge & Orange; but Different!
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!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
