Awesome job of putting this together! Thank you! You make it look easy. I have 4-5 partridge skins that have found new life!

Looks great, Hans. It has a lot going for it. Color, texture, lots of curves! You "could" put a hackle between the butt and abdomen and have a fly that's coming and going!

Tom

You've got it down, my friend! Wish I did. How about a step-by-step photo tutorial?

Tom

Well done on a nicely designed fly! I would like to see more patterns using the bobwhite hackle, please.

William,

Thanks! You are correct. I have read all of the founding books and knew the definition at one time. Thanks for reminding me. I should be taken out and lashed with a DT4F fly line!

Sitting in the corner wearing the "Dunce Cap" once again,
