How do you get your brown partridge?  It's very hard to find for sale.  I have an extra skin but don't want to dye it unless I know what I'm doing.  Thanks.

I use sharpies to color just about everything. It’s not permanent though as it will wash away if your fly lasts long enough. I find that as the fly gets beaten and battered by fish the color washing off don’t seem to shut the fish down.

Flytire, you really should post that one in the "realistic flies" forum.  Why, I can't even see the eye or point of the hook!
