I am offering a couple of fly selections for sale. One is a four fly soft hackle tied with four different color bodies, peacock thorax and partridge hackle. The other is a four fly different color body, peacock thorax with starling hackle.
These flies are tied with attention to detail, with materials known to take trout.
Selection #1, is the four partridge hackle selection.
Tied on #14 hooks.
Selection #2 is the starling hackle set.
These are also tied on #14 hooks.
Nice!

Nice flies! But I think there is a typo in the "staling set". I guess it's starling. Thanks for sharing!

PS I'm warming up for this summers fishing. Saw a couple of eagles (related to the Bald Eagle, but with brown "hair") today. DS

Good news Bill.
There's a simple beauty in a sparsely tied soft hackle fly or North Country Spider. Your flies are certainly beautiful. I often fish here in Australia with just a Partridge and Orange and a Snipe and Purple on the end of my line. If we were allowed to fish three flies at once I'd tie on a Waterhen Bloa to complete the "Famous Three". Might it be possible for me to buy a set of your flies? I enjoy following your blog very much.

Simplicity is key. The three flies you mentioned are indeed famous.
