Micro Baetis tied using Perdigones style

[LuciV 0]

here are a few micro baetis tiedfor crystal clear rivers. Where I go for fishing in Lombardia the fishing pressure is very high ( a lot of fishermen from Milano and near by are visiting these parts) so Catch and Release make the fish very spooky and educated. I prefer to fish differently to catch more than others and for this reason I use micro nymphs and thin tippets. Beatis start to be more efficient so I tie them in different ways . One way is to make them on small and very small hooks and I apply one layer of thin UV Resin to decrease the water resistance. Perdigones are nymphs tied like I described but tied with over sized beads. I prefer to fish lighter as possible so I use under sized beads .

 

Here is a photo of them and I presume that will work fantastic also in US

 

 

A river from these parts: fiume Mera

That is just spectacular country. I wonder how much those homes in that village cost?

A very effective-looking mish-mash of colours in each fly. You wouldn't want to share your materials list, would you?

Thanks for the SBS Lucian. It looks like much of the variegation I was seeing was due to the hook shank showing through.
