Mike Boyer 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Tied on a popular Partridge hook. I forget where I ran across this one, but John wrote me a note about this one some time ago, saying it was named after a hole in the Deschutes river (as best as I recall) where a bedsprings was in the bottom of the run. Orange seal, flat and oval gold tinsel, and a counter rib of gold wire. Blue eared pheasant and Gadwall with bronze Mallard completes the dressing. I used to practice Spey flies using this pattern.
