Fly Tying A Pearly Partridge Bibio With Martyn White

This is an excellent variant of the classic bibio wet fly. The extra flash and contrast can really make the difference on the right day. This pattern can be tied in a range of sizes and will take loch salmon, seatrout, browns and stocked rainbows in the lochs, loughs and reservoirs.

Nice tie Martyn. It’s crazy how much you can squeeze onto the hook shank and still have room for the head.

@@tomt5176 there's always room for another wrap 😂
