Ah; but Moc Morgan's "Flies of Wales" has full dressings and plate illustrations of Woodcock & Green, Woodcock & Mixed, and Woodcock & Yellow; as well as some variants with Welsh language names.


A local claret bodied favourite, is the 'Welsh Partridge'; not mentioned by Moc...
Neither can I find an official dressing, imagine a brown Partridge dabblerized Mallard & Claret, but without the wing.
