These PARTRIDGE ENGLISH FEATHERS from Hotfly are selected feathers from the back area of partridges and therefore naturally rather brown in colour. The speckled feathers of the partridge are an important component of many classic fly patterns such as the March brown. But of course they can also be used on many other fly patterns, including modern ones.
The fine, soft hackle fibres of the PARTRIDGE ENGLISH FEATHERS are excellent for imitating legs and tails and are used on dry flies, nymphs, and wet flies alike. You can tie in these feathers winding the hackle on the hook but also by dubbing just the fibers. You can also use them cut to size as wings on your artificial flies. Due to their mobility, these soft feathers play wonderfully lively in the water.
The PARTRIDGE ENGLISH FEATHERS are available in bags of 3 grams and with their wide range of applications they really should not be missing on any tying table.
