Giancarlo's Hair & Partridge

[ScottP]

Not really sure what part of the developmental process it's supposed to represent, but it's sure is different. A very cool vid (he has a ton of them)

Even in Italian, the tying sequence is easy to follow.


hook - Dai Riki 125 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 olive
body - mylar medium opal
underwing - partridge
wing - deer hair
head - dubbing olive

This is one of those very fishy looking flies. I really like the simplicity and the look of this fly and I imagine when tied in larger sizes would also work well for both LM and SM bass.

Giancarlo certainly is a talented tyer and it is worth watching his techniques. He ties some great patterns with using a minimum of materials. Simple and eloquent!

Another winner Scott.

Thanks and I'll have to agree with James and Oldster, totally worth trying a few. Man, you take good pics.!!

Hans Weilenmann has a pattern that is similar, that is a derivative of his CDC and Elk pattern called the "CDC & Elk Flash.

Here's Hans' CdC & Pearl



They do share components; I think the partridge on Giancarlo's version gives it a different look, though.
