  1. I've been having a ton of success this season fishing these nymphs tied on jig hooks with tungsten beads. https://youtu.be/cvEirtABBC0 Mohawk Hotspot Pheasant Tail Nymph fly pattern recipe Hook: Partridge SUJ #10-16 or similar jig hook Bead: Gold tungsten (3.3mm for #12) Thread: Rusty Brown 8/0 (70d) Hot Spot: Floss (hot color) Tail & body: 6-8 pheasant tail fibers or CDL fibers Rib: Copper Ultrawire (sm) Thorax: Peacock herl Good luck.
  2. Spanish perdigone nymphs have recently been an increasingly popular group of flies. They can be relatively easy to tie. And they are very effective for European style nymphing on different types of waters. Especially on very small - size 16 and 18 jig hooks. Material list: Thread: Orange floss Head: Tungsten silver bead, size 2.8 or 3.0 Hook: Hends BL 120 jig hook or similar type, size 16 - 18 Body: Black floss or similar thread Rib: Pink or pearl tinsel Tag: Orange floss Collar: Orange floss Tail: Coq de Leon Resin: UV Resin Deer Creek 1. Place the jig hook with a slotted silver tungsten bead in the vice. You can use gold or pink color too. But silver bead is the most effective perdigones color for me. The best hooks are jigs in sizes 16 or 18. Bigger nymphs are not so efficient. 2. Create a tail from Coq de Leon fibers. Do not bind it to the bend of the hook. The tail should be 1 - 1.5x longer than the fly body. 3. Create a small orange tag at the end of the fly. 4. Attach the pearl or pink tinsel and the black thread. 5. Finish the fly's body with the orange thread. It should be tapered. I use a little bit thicker thread. It is easier and faster to shape the body with it. 6. Create a black body with the thread. Tie it from the orange tag to the neck of the fly and fix it with the orange thread. 7. Rib the black body with pink or silver tinsel. Fix it with thread behind the tungsten head. 8. Complete the neck with orange thread. Whip finish the fly. 9. For the perdigone nymphs tapered varnished body‘s are characteristic. That adds a load to them and gives them their characteristic glassy appearance. On the market there are some various UV resins. My favorite is Diamond Fine from Deer Creek. This UV resin is fast, glass clear and without any residual tacks. Apply the UV glue carefully and from all sides with a thin needle to fly's body. Wait a few seconds - if the paint soaks into the thread, put it in a thin layer on these sites again. 10. I prefer a rotary vice for tying these flies. If the fly´s body is entire covered with varnish, check its shape. Rotate with the fly and harden the UV resin coating with a UV torch. Exposure time is determined by the manufacturer. At Deer Creek it is usually about 24 seconds. If the varnish does not stick, UV hardening is completed. And the fly is done! These flies are very small and heavily loaded . It is very deadly combination. This helps flies to get quickly to the bottom where trouts or graylings are feeding. I use them usually for nymphing with French long leader in combination with other jigs, Czech nymphs or similar perdigones patterns. And I use them on my local river all the year round. If you have not met with perdigones on jigs hooks yet, try them! There are many patterns on the Internet by which you can get inspired. Here are some more.

  3. I absolutely love the life palmered marabou produces in a pattern, but I can't seem to figure out how to downsize it for smaller trout jigs. Has anyone found a good way to create a palmered marabou micro jig? I know a lot of people change material when tying a smaller hook but for some reason the local trout go bonkers for marabou. I haven't had any success with palmered marabou I'm guessing due to the ridiculous length it creates off the hook shank. Directly tying the marabou to the hook gives me the length I want but I have a feeling a palmered marabou jig would turn bad days into productive days and good days into things of legend and lore. Thanks for any help you can provide!!!!

  5. This was tied on a size 2 jig hook. Large dumbell eyes, copper flash chenille, crazy legs for skirt, with two barred rabbit strips with foam on the ends for claws. Has a very nice jigging action.IMG_0034.MOV
