A traditional trout fly that can said to be a direct descendent of a fly listed in Dame Juliana Berners" The Treatise of Fishing with an Angle" of 1420. The Orange Partridge is one of the most quintessential of all the North Country patterns. This trout pattern takes both trout and grayling throughout the season whether it is dressed with the more traditional light orange silk or modern dressed with the hot orange silk and ribbed with fine gold wire.
Traditionally fished as a point fly the Partridge & orange excels when there are spinners returning to the water, no doubt due to its orange colouration. Available in sizes 14, 16,
