Fly Tying: The Gasolina Perdigon with Martyn White

The Gasolina perdigon is another fantastic Spanish nymph pattern which works fantastically with both European and dry dropper/indicator tactics.

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

@@FlickingFeathers cheers Martyn...I had just bought a half dozen of these ( nice ones) from chap on Etsy here in Ontario but decided I really should tie up some myself 😎....your vid was excellent....this pattern/ colour seems particularly good....especially with copper bead...copper and green always a good go- to colour I think.

Thanks!

Thanks for the support!

[@ryantherock7664]

Is that the medium or fine Hends tinsel?

[@FlickingFeathers]

It's perdigon body. I've only seen it in one size.

[@WeeManSham]

Very nice Martyn 👍. What UV resin do you use??

[@FlickingFeathers]

It's solarez bone dry.

[@WeeManSham]

@@FlickingFeathers nice one mate. 👍🏻 that UV torch looks powerful too, what is it??

[@FlickingFeathers]

@@WeeManSham I use the loon infinity light. It's rechargeable so the battery is always full.
Even after that I put the flies in a nail lamp I got off amazon(there's a link in the video description) for 20 mins to make sure they're fully cured

[@keithneilson8432]

Purists would say its not a gasolina if its not tied with Hends 233

[@FlickingFeathers]

They might, but they also might say the NASA and the superman are notably different patterns.
I very much doubt that the fish care.
