ptns with partridge legs?

[matt_b]

Hi folks,
I remember seeing somewhere an SBS for a PTN type nymph with partridge feather legs.

Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of something like that?

Thanks!

You don't need legs on these nymphs.

Far easier to use the excess pheasant tail to make the legs which I think is a nice touch

I use them tied on a longshank as a damsel imitation. I haven't got an SBS, Matt but I tie the tail and body as normal, tie in the throrax cover and then
1 apply dubbing for the thorax
2 cut out the tip of a partridge hackle and strip the hackle until I have the length of legs I want
3 tie in the hackle over the dubbing on the top of the hook, or attach it in front of the dubbing under the hook and then tie in the thorax cover.

I take fish on it but prefer something similar following a hare's ear pattern.

Great, thanks folks.

Here's one using cdc and squirrel for the abdomen and hare's ear and cdc for the thorax and legs.
Thorax cover from a static bag.
