Would dark brown Partridge feather be a suitable sub for the grouse?  :z8 Iain just whenever suits you  :z16

Liam,
at the risk of getting abuse from any fastidious faction.........................of course, why not, that's why I landed with the Grouse.
If it's brown and 'speckledy' go for it, lots of people jam with various bird feathers.

Nice fly Iain.


Liam, I use brown partridge for mine.  Never considered using grouse but it looks O.K.

Really nice fly Iain, you've been practicing  :z14 .... or is it the loon thats been tying?? :z4 :z4

Must admit that the MB's are one of the few river flies I tie with a heavy hackle, they're a big fly!

Aye, nae bad.

Mind you if you skipped the tail, used hare's ear for the dubbing and golden plover for the hackle you would have a proper spider that really catches during LDO hatches. A bit like the one on the left here  :z12

Nice fly Iain worth having a few in the armoury.

Try it over a yellow thread base sparse dub so the yellow shows through a wee bit or sub the gold rib for yellow floss.
