Partridge and Tube
A variation of the Partridge and (silk/color) that substitutes the silk body for vinyl tube. A little more durable than the silk against trout teeth. Been working great for me on the swing.

Thread: Green or color to match body
Underbody: thread ( use white thread for a brighter body)
Body: Green Vinyl Rib
Hackle: 2 turns of Partridge with one side stripped

SWING EM' PLEASE

I have seen some done with colored wire that also looked interesting.
