HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Another fly in the Mil-Spec series of flies. This is an easy-to-tie perdigon style fly great for imitating a lot of different nymphs and great on a Euro Nymphing Rig. It's also a great fly for a dry dropper rig!

In saltwater fly fishing we have a saying, “ If it ain’t got chartreuse, it’s got no use!” Should work here too.
I tie the same flies with red Hotspot. seems to be more effective in my waters. But, this is a beautiful fly too. I have some in yellow but keep going back to red.😊
Awesome video
Awesome!
Oh my goodness! I had my volume pretty loud and it is 1:30 in the morning and when that music came on I jumped so bad. I wonder if I woke up my parents?
Question: If perdigon flies sink so much better, why not just add the soft hackle over top of a fly like this to get the action/motion of a traditional fly, with the sink rate of a perdigon?
i know the perdiworm is a hybrid of that sorts, just considering for euro nymphing, getting the flies down fast and maintaining contact with the bottom, choosing fly patters that help with that is important.
The only issue is that more appendages make the fly sink slower. That's why perdigons sink so well, there is nothing hanging off of them to hang them up in the current. That said, a simple soft hackle is a great idea on a slim jig style fly.
Mil spec use to mean high tolerance then it turned into good enough with later generations. I was always old school tight tolerance kinda guy.
do you think this would work for pan fish as well? the only reason i`m asking is i have never used this fly,, it looks like it would work on those skinny waters where a "BIGGER" fly would scare the trout
Do you think the wing case is important on Perdigon's? I see many with and many without. I haven't had a chance to fish each kind enough to determine if there's a difference. They are just much easier and faster to tie without it.
I fish very selective trout on tail waters in NY - have you had success with this fly on tail waters?
It's very successful on tailwaters. We have lots of picky tailwaters here in Utah that have fish that will "ONLY" eat tiny baetis etc... Well, turns out they like a proper presentation of a fly just like this as well.
What color is that thread?
I'm curious. Does the name "pellet" refer to commercial fish food used at hatcheries?
The word “perdigon” means “pellet” in Spanish.
Reminds me of an Oliver Kite pattern 😜
What colour thread are you using
UTC 70 denier in Olive and yellow
Will color combo work in CO? seems like it should - hope so....I already tied some :-)
Yup! Honestly.... I think they all work. Color doesn't seem to matter all that much most places. I'm in Durango area. I just like how my fly box looks with all the different ones 🤣probably could do with just 1 though - black body, silver rib and orange hot spot
RIP ears @ 2:36
CHEECH!
Why no lead wraps?
Bulks the fly up too much.
@@FlyFishFood I see now why, mill spec dropper
Old school traditionalist have to hate you on how easy you make it look without all the material you use to tie flies.
My ears!
Still waiting for the clown music...
