Hi Hans,
Enjoyed the pattern book "365"......
Hans,
Do you find the CDL hen easier to work with than hun, would it be a good substitute?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
No, it is not a good sub for Hungarian partridge - no distinct mottling, much finer taper in the barbs - but it is a superb hackle in its own right, very easy to work with and very versatile. It is also one of the 'steals' in present day hackle.
Cheers,
Hans W
