For those days when you want a drab pattern (gray overcast skies/gray fly). Nothing flashy, but hopefully splashy!

Definitely a beautiful fish catcher!!

That will surely Gett'r Dun (yea, I see what you did there.). Great colors, clean dressing. I think I like the gold over the silver, but that's just me.

Ray,

Did you dye the partridge skin yourself?

Thanks- Ken

Ken - No. Carl (Old Hat) dyed this skin for me several years ago (Thanks Carl). Sylvester Nemes often used dun dyed partridge in several soft hackle patterns. I’ve been using this hackle in a lot of patterns. I just love the appearance of the darker legs (hackle fibers).

Oh, yes--Carl; is there anything he doesn't excel at?

Don't tell anyone, but I heard Carl may even be ................Santa Claus!

Thanks- Ken
