Loved this video Barry nice to see someone tying slowly so we can see exactly everything you did very informative and a great wee classic thank you for sharing stay safe
This is my all-time favourite pattern out of all the flies I’ve seen tied on the tube. I’ve watched many tyers do their take and, for me, the simpler the better. I tied mine with pearsalls silk and it’s just lovely. But thank you for your version Barry. It’s classic. Thank you for another one dude. Oh, and I agree..... I think too that the body should go back a little further than the point.
A beautiful and simple version of one of my favourite early-season flies (with purple & snipe). Just had our first Winter frost here in Dublin so it seems right to be tying some of these later today for those early March mornings on the River Liffey. Thank you!
A classic - so simple and so effective! Love soft-hackle flies, thanks for posting this one Barry! It's one if the first patterns I tied (50 years ago - with embroidery yarn LOL!) and fished. I use a minimalist approach with my fly boxes (to save time deciding which to use) and the Partridge and Orange is always included, tied pretty well are you do and also on a jig hook and gold tungsten bead for the faster, deeper runs. Find that a chartreuse body works well in off colored water or when those green bodied caddis are hatching. ATB!
Hi Craig, not sure where you live but here in Norway where we have proper winters and no hatches, this is my top attractor pattern. It also works fantastic for ice fishing: th-cam.com/video/qia2g4ToTCY/w-d-xo.html
@@northcountryfisher2121 Thank You! That's quite informative and new for me... obviously... If you allow me, I have one more question: Is the ribbing of this fly is making with the tying silk as is shown in the video or are materials such as wire used?
Simple and beautiful Barry. Thanks Big Davie

Thank you Tom. The whole idea is that tyers hopefully learn something from them.
Very clean and simple
Thanks Ed.

Thanks Dude! I do normally tie them with Pearsall's but I thought I would use something a little more accessible for the majority of tyers.

Thanks Hank, yes I couldn't agree more, and there are so many colour combinations that you can use...
Such a simple, yet effective, fly pattern.I like your technique with the hackle, Barry. It should prevent the temptation to over hackle.
Exactly James! Thanks.
Nice Barry.
Thanks for making this video.
🌴🎣🏄♂️Aloha
Thanks Kent.
thank you barry ..... see ya joe.
Thanks Joe.
perfect Barry
Merci Guy!
I love the patterns. My best Bluegill (Brim) this year was taken with a spider.
Thanks Lee.
i have had trouble with soft hackle winding over itself, so I will employ your technique in cutting off top of the feather quills. thanks.
Let me know how you get on Marie.
Hi Barry
What are the best flies to use for winter for stillwater (trout)
Hi Craig, not sure where you live but here in Norway where we have proper winters and no hatches, this is my top attractor pattern. It also works fantastic for ice fishing: th-cam.com/video/qia2g4ToTCY/w-d-xo.html
I have tied quite a few of the Orange and partridge soft hackles. They don't look that pretty. Nicely done.
Hi John, thanks. It's just practice...
What is the thread u used to tie this fly. Make and size if poss
Hi Kevin, it's Gordon Griffiths Cobweb 6/0 Orange available from Veniard.
Sharp dressed fly!
Thanks T.
Beautiful! I prefer a rib myself ... Cheers - Shaun
Thanks Shaun.
Великолепно 😊🤝👍
Thank you.
Rib on 'Partridge and Orange'?
I'm afraid, Sir the next thing You are gonna do is to put ice in Your dram....
A rib is quite traditional in parts of Yorkshire ...

Ivan Stanev ... Traditionally you would use a silk rib, but i'm sure a wire rib would have been used too, if only to get a bit deeper.
