Re: Sherbrook's Copper & Partridge
Oh man, that's terrific! I love the color combination. The wing and copper body harmonize beautifully.
Are you in the process of filling a box with winged patterns? I would love to see a photo of the full set someday.

Re: Sherbrook's Copper & Partridge
Beautiful, Scott. Is the wing a single tented turkey tail segment or two paired? And is it coated with a stiffener?

Maybe a food storage container (that's where I store flies I tie; once it fills up, I try to find an open spot for them in a flybox).

It's a pair of segments from the tail. I did not apply stiffener - the nozzle on the can of spray lacquer I have clogged so I tied them as-is.

Re: Sherbrook's Copper & Partridge
Beautiful tie!
I like it better on top of the hook shank, but I doubt the trout care one way or the other. I find when tying a bunch of the same wing wet fly pattern at one sitting it is difficult for me to make each one look like an exact copy of each other.
Some tiers add the hackle after tying on the wing which I have always felt was a pain to do and made no difference to the fish.

Re: Sherbrook's Copper & Partridge
Wow! Some very nice ties there Scott. I guess I can see cloaking the wing as in Scott's first fly shown especially if one is going for a very low wing profile. This is a technique I need to work on for sure. John mentions it being a pain to tie on hackle after the wing has been set. Yes, quite often I find the taper of thread brought about after the wing is tied in can cause problems. I now try to remember to get some tread wraps in front of the wing so as to get a flat surface on which to wrap the hackle.
