construction of artificial flies, one of the first which I would
think would be the partridge feather. I've always loved this
feather, and if I see an opportunity to insert it into an
assembly, I do it with confidence. Its characteristics make it
suitable to imitate the legs and wings of many insects and
some of the most famous artificial classics are proof that,
place it in an appropriate manner in a dressing, is a winning
move. Inspired again by the Mirage, I suggest getting the
imitation of a ecdyonurus using partridge hackle and a
CDC hackle.

Hook grub size 14/16
Tails, body and wiangs: A Partridge feather
Hackle: CDC hackle
Pasos
Paso 1
Take a partridge feather and delete the soft fibers of
base.
Paso 2
Holding the feather for the tip, I strain the fibers
toward the base in order to obtain a extended body. I
fix the hackle on a hook grub, which I find particularly
suitable for the assembly of extended bodies.
Performing this operation I get wings fly represented
by fibers that exceed from the extended body.
Paso 3
Near the extended body, I fix a CDC hackle
Paso 4
Wrap the hackle between the hook, the extended body and
his feather’s stem.
Paso 5
Fix the hackle next eye of the hook and cut the excess.
Paso 6
Down the feather’s stem of the partridge hackle, fix it next
eye and cut the excess. With this operation, compress and
block the turns of the CDC hackle on the hook, so that it
cannot come loose and stretch along the wings.
Paso 7
Cut the tip of the feather, leaving two fibers to imitate the
tails.
