The first mention of using partridge as a material for fishing lures dates back to Dame Juliana Berner’s A Treatise of Fishing with an Angle first published in 1496. So it should be no surprise that the skin of the Hungarian Partridge is a sought-after item on the bench of every contemporary fly tier.
Each skin has lots of small shoulder feathers for your soft hackle patterns, and so many more feather with the typical partridge mottling to use for tails, wings, and so much more.
Quality partridge skins are getting increasingly difficult to source, so get yours while they last!
Each package contains one full skin but may not include the wings. The most valuable soft hackle feathers on the shoulders and back of the bird will be in excellent condition, but being a natural product each skin will be slightly different and provide a varying number of usable feathers.
