I use this product for legs on emerges patterns like stone flys and PMD,S
IM NOT REAL HAPPY WIYH THE FEATHERS ON THE WING CASE I RECEVED, I WENT BACK TO MY ORIGINAL ONE I HAD. MIKE
The dye used is almost black. I was looking for a medium brown!
The Partridge Pelt is oily and sticky. Tried to pull out a feather and the whole wing and another oily chunk of pelt fell off the main Partridge pelt. Fingers get oily from tying with them. I've been tying flies for over 40 years and never received an oily sticky pelt that falls apart. Would not recommend.
When I compared it with my previous skins. This one is between a 3 and a 4. Not a Grade 1.
This is my second Partridge Full Pelt from FFF.
First was natural and exceptional. This colored pelt is beautifully dyed. The chartreuse color is even throughout. I was skeptical at first but with the great color & crazy amount & sizes of varied feathers in perfect condition it is well worth the cost. I’ve tied a couple dozen soft hackles with it & the bit of color adds a unique look to them. Will see what the trout think in the coming weeks. Already thinking about more colors when FFF has them available. Absolutely no regrets.
