Partridge & Olive |
|
 |
|
| Hook: | Any wet fly #12-20 |
| Thread: | Uni 8/0 olive |
| Rib: | X-fine silver or gold wire |
| Body: | Pearsall's Gossamer Floss, separated. Tie in one strand midway between the hook point and barb, or for the illusion of a smaller fly, without sacrificing hooking ability, tie in point is above the hook point |
| Thorax: | Tiny amount of hare's ear dubbing |
| Hackle: | Grey partridge. One or two turns |
Notes:A good fly to fish when trout are taking BWO's on tough water with complex currents-the water that is very frustrating to fish with a sub-20 dry fly. Fished upstream and allowed to swing at the end of the drift, it can save the day over "picky" fish on tough water. |
