{"product_id":"french-partridge-hackle-2g","title":"French Partridge Hackle 2g","description":"\u003ch1\u003eFrench Partridge Hackle 2g\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeniard French Partridge Hackle is a classic natural feather used extensively in traditional Irish fly tying. It is particularly associated with Mayfly patterns and Goslings. However, its soft fibres and distinctive markings make it useful across a much wider range of flies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench Partridge comes from the Red Leg Partridge. The hackle feathers feature attractive natural markings with darker tips and bars. Consequently, a wound hackle creates instant contrast around the fly without requiring several different materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibres remain relatively soft and mobile. Therefore, they move naturally when you fish the fly through waves or retrieve it across a lough. This movement makes French Partridge particularly effective on wet Mayfly patterns. It also works extremely well on traditional Irish lough flies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French Partridge Mayfly itself shows exactly why fly tyers value this material. Tyers wind the feather as a front hackle to create the distinctive profile of the pattern. French Partridge also features in numerous Goslings and Mayfly variants. As a result, it remains an important material for anyone tying flies for the Irish Mayfly season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feathers also offer plenty of uses beyond traditional Mayflies. Fly tyers can use them as hackles on large wet flies, nymphs, sea trout patterns and selected salmon flies. Meanwhile, individual fibres work well for legs, tails and other small details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeniard offers the hackles in natural and dyed colours. Dyed versions retain the characteristic markings of the feather while allowing tyers to match different fly patterns. Therefore, colours such as olive, yellow and orange can create very different effects while retaining the unmistakable French Partridge appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pack contains 2g of French Partridge Hackle. Whether you're tying traditional Irish Mayflies or experimenting with modern wet flies, this is a highly versatile natural material with a long-established place at the fly tying bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench Partridge combines soft movement with distinctive natural markings. The fibres pulse when retrieved or moved by wave action. Meanwhile, the dark markings create contrast and definition around the fly. This combination makes the feather particularly effective for traditional wet Mayfly patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeniard French Partridge Hackle is essential for tyers producing Irish Mayflies, Goslings and lough-style wet flies. It also suits anyone tying nymphs, sea trout flies or selected salmon patterns. For anglers fishing the Irish Mayfly season, it is one of the classic materials to keep on the tying bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine French  Partridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2g pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic Irish Mayfly material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidely used in Gosling patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft, mobile hackle fibres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive natural markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent contrast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for wet flies and nymphs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for sea trout and salmon flies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural and dyed colours available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slaney Fishing","offers":[{"title":"Brown","offer_id":57597984178502,"sku":"5056304603664","price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural","offer_id":57597984211270,"sku":"5056304603602","price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":57597984244038,"sku":"5056304603671","price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":57597984276806,"sku":"5056304603657","price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":57597984309574,"sku":"5056304603619","price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive","offer_id":57597984342342,"sku":"5056304603626","price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":57597984375110,"sku":"5056304603633","price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":57597984407878,"sku":null,"price":4.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/6651\/9366\/files\/french-partridge-hackle-2g.jpg?v=1791996277","url":"https:\/\/slaneyfishing.com\/products\/french-partridge-hackle-2g","provider":"Slaney Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
