Veniard Partridge Feathers are available in handy 1 gram bags as Veniard has done the work for you with these loose packs of back feathers from an English Partridge. Each pack contains a variety of usable neck feathers for tying soft hackled wet flies and spiders, and also makes great tailing and shellcase material for nymphs. Veniard has developed a great reputation in England for their quality tying materials and we are more than glad to offer them to our customers here in Australia. These go quick so get em while they are around!
The Back feathers are taken from just below the grey neck feathers and exhibit a predominantly grey and white fleck with a sepia tone towards the tips.
Veniard Partridge Feathers are a favorite for tying soft hackle classics such as the famous ‘Partridge & Orange’ or ‘March Brown’ wetflies which ever since have proven their fish catching abilities. However these soft feathers add a lot of realism and movement to modern nymph-patterns in the form of legs, antenna and hackles. Moreover English partridge is the ideal choice for imitating mouth parts and legs on shrimp and scud-flies – e.g. the ‘Pattegrisen’. You can either hackle or dub this material to create very tantalizing patterns or use entire feathers for tying caddis wings.
As well as brow back feathers, we also carry neck feathers dyed olive and natural grey neck feathers.
Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking streamer fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural hairs and furs is the ideal place to start for something different to the synthetic option.
