McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2021 Perdigon flies are pretty simple flies to tie, yet very effective. They are tied on jig hooks with tungsten slotted beads to make it swim hook point up. They get hung up on the bottom less often, and also are very heavy and sink quickly. Great flies for fishing euro nymphing style, yet also work great as a lead fly to get other smaller flies down. Best of all, most perdigon flies can be tied very quickly, and therefor you can bust out 15-20 of them in an hour and fill a box in an afternoon.

You must be talking about the part where I was showing the bead and what orientation it should sit at. I’m guessing you turned off the sound and didn’t hear me talking on it. I can see where someone might think nothing is happening and my fingers are in the way there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skeet3t 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2021 Good video and great photography to show detail. Is it supposed to imitate any particular critter? I'm thinking the bend in the hook and the bead make the point ride upright. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well actually i recently watched a video from tightlines that shows nymphs don’t ride hook “down” or “up” but rather forward and backward. Jig flies ride backwards, and therefore snag less often.
