;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I think it is one of those soft hackle partridge flies. The colour is in black and white, and taking the clue from FCUK, I guess it to be the "Black & White Partridge". |

Hello yourself ;D ;D ;D
Look like easy one for you. No contest. Just a short history, the P&O is commonly known as the Soft Hackle in the US and other countries. But it is also known as the Snipes, Partridge or the Waterhen and by other names in the UK.
Yorkshire spiders are the traditional wet trout and grayling fishing flies of the North of England they are soft hackle patterns which are deadly fished upstream or downstream. They represent a fly fishing tradition which goes back many many years and they remain in use today because they are effective and deadly when presented in the correct way. These flies are constantly in use on rivers throughout the British Isles and they will prove just as effective on any trout stream in the world.
Here in SinCity, they can be deadly on Peacocbass. Especially when they are rising for shrimps.
Ok, will have to look for another pattern to tease you guys.
Cheers
Qwek
