Nice fly mate but i think the oval border thing spoils the pic.

Lovely!

Re proportions, I find it really hard to find a brown partridge hackle small enough. How do you do it? I've been using the Veniards packet of hackles. Do I need to go buy a partridge skin/neck to get the small stuff? Or is it just the case that all partridge hackles are a certain size...?

Cheers

Neil
