Fly Tying A Body Quill Perdigon With Martyn White

Perdigons have become firmly established as essential river nymphs. These super simple body quill versions are quick, easy ties that are ideal when the fish prefer a more drab offering rather than the tinsel based patterns You sometimes see these under other names such as the Spanish bullet, but I see no reason to change the name from the original.

I strongly recommend a salon style UV lamp to give these and all your UV resin flies a final cure for a hard, clear tack free finish regardless of the brand resin you use

Thanks Martyn. Could I ask what varnish and UV resin you use.

Any old varnish will do. Solarez bone dry on these.
