Polish Palmer & Partridge

DUBBN,

Great flies, I love the new HS Brown Partridge variation.

Bill, these were tied on a size 12 Mustad 3906B. I am going to drop them down a size to a size 14 3906 type hook. Probably a WFC Wet Fly hook. Ugh, I am going to have to wait 4 months to swing and fish them up stream.

Nice Wayne! You guys have some winning combinations in these patterns! Talk about talented tiers! You guys are reaching the top of Mt. Everest!
Beautiful Patterns! I will sleep well tonight!

This is my attempt at the Polish Palmer and Partridge. I was asked to do a tying demo at the start of our fly fishing club meeting (Penobscot Fly Fishers) last Wednesday. It's an hour long tying session for anyone who shows up. I was so enamored with this fly that I tied three or four on Tuesday to get some practice in and demoed it on Wednesday evening. The fly was a hit! I had a rotating large crowd and went over my allotted time period because there were so many people that wanted to see the fly. Thanks for sharing this one. I love it. Excuse the dried wax on the head.

Ron, more than an attempt, you nailed it as I know you can easily do.

Glad to see you made it a hit on the East Coast!!

Awesome fly Ron. Did you use hen or rooster for the palmer?

You always do great work.

Thanks, guys. When a fly looks that good, tying it is pretty easy. Wayne, I used hen dyed brown. I really didn't want the stiffness of rooster, I just wanted something that would keep the partridge from collapsing as it dances in the current.

Thank you for the quick response, Ron. I used hen aswell.

I have a Metz hen cape. Grizzly dyed Brown that I am thinking of throwing in the mix.

Seriously, I will strive to make it look as good as yours and Bill's.

Very nice Guys!
That reminds me of an old pattern called Queen of the Waters.
