Carl, I must have missed this earlier. It's a nice compliment with the very light partridge. I had the opportunity to fish one of Bill Lovelace's tinsel bodied soft hackles in Montana this past summer and was thrilled that they connected as I had hoped. I always thought they were just too much, but Bill came in the cabin one evening swearing by this fly and he wasn't wrong. I love your pattern and can see how the delicate pattern could easily attract a strike and imitate an emerging caddis. Nice one.
