Partridge with Tails

Size 14 Yellow softhackles. They are tied with over sized Mallard dyed Wood Duck flanks. They do not always turn out pretty, but I do enjoy tying and fishing them. https://i.postimg.cc/4dBs4WXB/20240522-080236.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Gttr4v2r/20240522-081313.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/gj7p8rXh/202405...

Size 14 Squirrel wets. Light and Dark.
My region is in the middle of high water. Where I can find fishable water, these and the Muskrat have been working very well.

Heck yes!!!

Gorgeous ,Ron. You will do great with them!!

Holy moly!!! That is awesome that you did a side by side test on them. It never fails to amaze me that sometimes it's a tiny detail that can make a pattern produce.

Thank you for sharing your results.

That is a gorgeous skin!!!!

Holy smokes it took forever to log in. I do a little night time , lake fishing when the mosquitos allow. I am very interested in in the Lumo beads. I have a lot of luminescent thread. Would it be possible to use this with or instead of the beads to achieve similar results? Excellent fly pattern, Bill.

I plan to twist up a few of those patterns and might call them 101's

Rick, that would be an awesome name!!!

Thanks folks. They are basic fly tying 101 patterns, but they have been effective the past few days.
