Great pattern! For perdigon style flies, keeping bulk down is the key to the function. A teardrop shape is what you are after! I think adding lead wraps is unnecessary as it adds bulk.
is this of your own design and making? if so what do you now, today, substitute for the UV glue? multiple coats of Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails do the same thing? Thank you!
Great to see one Perdigón 👌👌👌variation it arrives to one of the tightlinevideo tutorials. For the purist, the tails are not there to 100% represent the natural insects, on the Perdigón pattern the tails called “cercos” for the Spanish, proportions to match hook shank are not a must. The general pattern, the tail is there to help balance the pattern under water, is generally slightly shorter than hook shank and from more stiff fibers, (the original GALLO DE LEÓN, from El Valle del Curueño from the León region), from the very early stages of the evolution of the fly to today’s variations, the tail never change at competition levels, it was what the French together with Spanish competitors chose to put them on the top 3 high level nymphing fly patterns to help them to lead in the game. Thank you for sharing.
When I thought you did it all...you come up with this... I'm sure others do it...but the blending of colors...and this patterns simplicity and also being very functiona, l makes it truly a work of art...thanks.. Ps...this have fly is also a super pattern for here in Colorado....for our golden stones...cheesman canyon...one of these in say 12 or 14...and a cheesman emerger size 18 about 20 inches below .... Or maybe a green caddis emerger..?? Thanks again...I've been following you about 10 years?.
Tim -- I don't understand this dressing. This example is tied on a nymph hook; won't it be presented to the trout upside-down? If so, should the black wing case be on the top of the shank, as shown?
Will this work without a slotted bead? I see a ton of these Euro-Nymph patterns calling for slotted beads. What's the disadvantage of using a non-slotted bead?
@@tightlinevideo I've never seen it either, and I use Solarez. I think he means from what purveyor, or did you get this direct as a freebie (prototype trial) from Solarez?
The real question is "do natural nymphs drift downstream in a horizontal orientation with their wing cases facing upward?" The answer is no, they are constantly bending and twisting their bodies and what is up or down seems to have little importance to them (I stare into fish tanks way too much). If I get the chance, I'll post a short video that illustrates what I mean. Anyway, thanks for the question, it's definitely worthy of discussion.
@@tightlinevideo I kind of disagree with this theory. Not all flies are dead that fish eat - these things live and thrive in their natural state. Most likely your jig nymph will be near the stream bottom, the whole point of a jig nymph is to ride point up - these nymphs swim just fine especially near the stream bottom. Yes it probably doesn't matter when catching fish and I hate being a nag but what is the point of using a jig nymph if you are not going to tie it with the wing case on the hook point side? You can put a bead, lead on a regular hook and get the same result if you put the wing case where you did. - The fly is beautiful though.
All good points Zak, but in practical application does it really matter? In other words is a trout going to refuse a nymph because the wing case is on the "wrong" side, I doubt it. My reason for using jig hooks is the same as yours "they ride hook point up" but I like this only because they tend to get hung up on the bottom less often, not how the fly appears to the trout.To me, the purpose of the black wing case is to add contrast to the pattern, kinda like another trigger. It is a good bit easier to apply to the fly as I did in the video as opposed to on the other side.@@zakb.9269
black is on the wrong side. you must think how swin the perdigón 🤗consejo de pescador español. los dos perdigones pescaran pero mucho mejor a mi modo imitando el saco alar.
Jose Julian Jambrina Diego it isn’t a huge deal and it would look ugly on the other side. It’s tradition to have it on the top, even on inverted jig hooks.
this remains one of my most favorite nymphs.
As always another great video.... Love tying and fishing the perdigon nymphs. Thanks for this one
Great videos, excellent presentation. Thanks
so cool going to ,,just started tying flies again ..this looks great ty for sharing wonderful tutorials and great tips !
Wow that nymph is a real gem! You nailed it. Now I know the reason for Natural vs Prince. Plus you answered my question in the the comments.
I love all of the perdigons they not only look good but catch fish!
Love your short vids. To the point and always spot on.

Interesting ! So much to learn about this great sport ! Thanks
Some nice realistic body colors with this technique. Thanks.

Nice fly, but wouldn't the wing case be upside down since it rides hook point up?
Tim -- I don't understand this dressing. This example is tied on a nymph hook; won't it be presented to the trout upside-down? If so, should the black wing case be on the top of the shank, as shown?
OH -- I see your response below. Never mind.
How has this sulphur pattern perdigon worked out for you? Has it been effective during the sulphur hatch and/or pre hatch period?
As usual excellent!
Will this work without a slotted bead? I see a ton of these Euro-Nymph patterns calling for slotted beads. What's the disadvantage of using a non-slotted bead?
Great choice for tail. I have seen a lot of tyer using coq de leon, but I think it's better to use another material.
Please do more "match the hatch" euro flies!
What does the fly imitate?
I haven’t seen a colored UV resin until now, what a cool and unique tool! Where do you get it?
A number of companies are making them now, this on is from Solarez.
@@tightlinevideo I've never seen it either, and I use Solarez. I think he means from what purveyor, or did you get this direct as a freebie (prototype trial) from Solarez?
Tim will you please tie a Kebari?
Nice one Tim! Question: Tied on a jig hook the fly will ride hook-point up, should the "wing case" not be on the other side?

@@tightlinevideo Thanks Tim! That makes sense. Would like to see videos of the activity in your fish tanks.

That’s what I said I didn’t want to sound like a nag. Fish won’t care 99.9% of the time on a pattern like this, I agree.
Nice tie. thanks.
Beautiful
Great fly thank you
Nice
Cheap hook may save money, but it won't work out in the end
black is on the wrong side.
you must think how swin the perdigón

Bb k on . .
Dry fly or you aint no fisherman Please quit it
It is dry , then you put in the water and catch fish .
