Tying a 2-Tone Wired Perdigon Fly pattern For Trout and Panfish - Piscator Flies
I've been tying quite a few Perdigons over the winter to fill in the blank spots in my fly boxes. I've had a ton of success using tungsten Perdigon flies in the creeks, rivers, and lakes. Trout and panfish have had a hard time passing up these little morsels and I've been honing the patterns over the year based on their performance.
You can use a variety of colors of wire, it's best if you have a good contrast to mimic natural nymphs. Tand and olive, black and copper, pink and brown have all worked out quite nicely for me. Let me know if you find a good color scheme to add to my arsenal.
If you get a little too generous with the Bone Dry and it seeps into the hook eye. No problem, just use a bodkin to clear the hole.

Tying a Firefox Perdigon Blue Fly pattern For Trout and Panfish - Piscator Flies
Переглядів 2,4 тис.3 роки тому
I like to keep a few blue flies on me when I'm out fishing for trout and panfish. Perdigon fly patterns were really productive in 2020 and this one I was fishing near the end of the season with great success. If you don't have any Iris, there are several other products that work just as well. Even a couple strands of crystal flash will work in a pinch. It looks like I got a little too generous ...

    I keep getting these odd shapes, mohawks and generally "not round" eggs. I'm using the pen cap, the straw, no tool, orientating the material in-line, cross ways... you name it! Ugh...it can't be that hard to tie an egg!! LOL Could it be too much foam? Not enough?!

    I have a question. Why put on the ostrich herl? OK, but almost anything works. I just use any kind of black-ish chenille or heavy thread. Flash ok, but not necessary. A few feathers of red maribou does the same thing--calls attention to a 'flaming personality type of leech"--but not necessary. Mainly, just make a good base of thread and start adding black maribou and it will look like a leech. I caught over a dozen trout on one of these just this morning. The fish were eating some sort of diving beetle, a dragonfly nymphs, lots and lots of scuds, a few leeches, and some chrionomids. Not very particular. They wanted the leech moving slowly in three inch twitches.

    Strip one side of the hackle off ….John instructs this in one of his videos he did for SFOTF . It makes it sparser than a bugger. As well change the bead from glass to a metal bead in hot orange. Tie them smaller for indicator fishing. The original did not use a wire counter rib but I would advise it for durability.
