This is Jean Paul Pequegnot’s pattern created around 1964. He wanted to combine the high float of a palmer fly with partridge. It worked and caught so many fish he named it the Assassine.
Hook: 10-14
Thread: Yellow silk
Hackle: front partridge (brown speckled or grey) wrapped dull side facing the eye - concave side forward.
Rear hackle dun cock wrapped several times tight against the partridge then palmered to the bend
It is a fun tie! Give it a shot.
