Is that dyed pheasant? What's that merlot color?

 

[Zoran]

It is dyed pheasant feather. I have natural, green and this merlot. Present from friend who got them from China I believe. Not some superior quality but nice colours.

A few more snook snacks

This might be the easiest snook pattern to tie…Finn raccoon. Might also be a good streamer as a juvenile whitefish for trout

Never fished for snook, but all white is great for a number of species. Nice tie. Very similar to a Schminnow pattern.

Got some cool new fibers from @SpawnFlyFish today in the mail, chum fry simi-seal along with some other colors and some eyes. Took a stab at a new chum fry pattern!

I have a soft-hackle question.
Is there a difference between a brown and a natural partridge skin? When a pattern calls for brown partridge is it simply calling for a brown feather from a natural skin?

There are different species of partridge with differing plumage, but overall you are correct in your thoughts. The white is up front by the throat and gets darker brown to the back. There can be other shades, reds, and grays hidden in there as well. They all have their place.

Thanks for clarifying.

Finish the night off with Shell Pink tail, Fluorescent Apricot inner collars, Bleached White outer collars, Orange thread collar.
A slightly lighter color scheme to my first one.
