Enjoy all the fly tying videos but all the euro nymphing video information .
Thanks! I'm glad your enjoying the content!
Really like your variety of Perdigons. Have had a lot if success with the black zebra perdigon.
Fully endorse your comment about avoiding those back strips!
Yeah... they completely fall apart... so tough to work with.
I’m ready for HARD WATER LAKERS !!!!!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣🎣🎣
Hey Now!! 😂 I love ice fishing but the older the get the more I don't like the cold! Hopefully we get a good ice season though!
You KNOW that You Love ❤️ taking people out, to catch those “ Lake Wolves ! “
Happy September and Thank You for Your Content !
✨🎣💫
I like the black up wing case. Definitely beats finger nail polish! Thanks
Yeah... I hated the nail polish method and waiting for it to dry and then when it dried it would sink into the slot and never look right. UV Resin is way better!
I’m a beginner and thanks for your instructions
You’re welcome 😊
Great flie. Glad to see I’m not the only one having trouble with a lousy cdc clamp.
CDC clamps get be tricky for sure... I've gotten used to them a bit now and it usually goes pretty well.
NICE NYMPH , BRAVO
Thank you!
That fly is a killer!!! That is my go to fly and seems to be successful in almost every creek in my area!! Whatever dropper I pair with it, never gets the attention the the olive flash with hot spot.
Yeah... It does well for me too! :)
Loved the video - enjoy all your videos
Glad you like them!
Great video! I did laugh a bit at the 'If you turn over rocks you see a lot of dull brown insects, so I'm going to tie a nymph with bright flashy green and an orange unlike anything you would ever see under a rock.'
😂😂😂 Seriously!! It is rather ironic.. lol I start with the nymph colors and tones and tie a bunch that way and then I spice it up a bit and add hot spots and flash that get them noticed. The ones with flash catch some serious fish though! I say make em both ways and see what works for you!
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Ha ha, classic, I'm exactly the same- starts off tactical ops and ends up mardi gras
Enjoyed the video, Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Lovely fly, used it last weekend in Luxemburg on browns with success!!!
Nice!! Congrats!
Good job walking through the tie. Just starting to tie so watching a veteran tier is very important to me.
It's a journey as with anything. Just enjoy the process 😊
Great fly, can’t wait to tie it up and start using them in Montana
Awesome! Good luck!
Love the pattern I like to see some emergers
Yeah... that's a good idea! When I exclusively dry fly fished I like emergers a lot.
Great videos!
Thank you!
Awesome video. Keep the tying videos coming
Thanks! Will do!
Great video again - will try shortly. I love to see that your purchased the digital scale - I did spot it on your table ;)
YES I DID! Good eye! I don't think I got the one you linked but I got a similar one. It's been very eye opening as to the difference in weights in my flies. My sexi bomb is so much heavier than my other flies 😂 This fly is the lightest fly I tie.
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany BTW, I think I am getting good at using Perdigonmania strips. They are quite fragile so can't use any tools to wrap them, but humid fingers help a lot. I decided to not give up on them as they have such an amazing collection of color or material (translucent, UV...). Hope all is well. Looking FWD to part 2 video of "fly selection". Is it coming soon?
Very nice detailed example .... one can easily tie their own based on this video. Great job!
Great video love basic fly tying info
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice tying!! I like the Hends 34 as well. I believe it’s olive. I like the 134 too and they state it’s light olive. Thanks!!
Nice!!! I look those up... I'm really liking that material.
This is Turning into one of my favorite dropper flies. This fly catches fish!
That's awesome! I do love this fly as a dropper!
I think I've seen this one called a gasoline somewhere. Very nice!
Interesting.. I just search on that and found a few very similar patterns. I'm pretty sure I'd heard of that before as well.
Fantastic information on the reason for the Perdigon. Great video as usual.
Thanks Gary!
I have watched 6 different Perdigon videos and this one looks the best. Can't wait to tie these tomorrow. Thanks!
Thank You! I certainly love that little guy!
Enjoy your tutorials on all the flies! I tied up a few sexy stone flies and the bigger fish really go for them!! Thanks
YES THEY DO!!!! It is by far the most consistent big fish fly that I've used!
This is my first confidence fly. I'm new to tying and made this for my trip to NC. Used this the entire weekend. And then again when I came back to NJ. Caught loads of fish with this single fly, including brookies. I did use it on a dry dropper too. Fantastic!
Awesome!!! I love it! Glad you found success with it. 😊
The best looking perdigon nymph I have seen on UA-cam. Great tutorial. Would love to see more light weight dropper flies.
Wow! Thanks! That is a big compliment! 😊
Son caught a ton of trout at bennett springs state park missouri. Produced 40+ fish over eight hours of fishing.
that's awesome! :)
I’d like to see some more fly tying videos. Maybe some more perdigon variations or other simplistic but effective euro nymphs
I'm definitely doing fly tying videos more regularly these days. It pushes me to explore and fish more fly patterns and I get a lot of great ideas from people. By the way... did you see you won the drawing for the Hat? Send me an email to bryan_spinner@yahoo.com or message me on Instagram @whitedogtrail and I can get that to you. I have a few options for you chose from. Thanks for the support!
The tie is fly 😂
😂😂 Thanks!
Since i have found your vids i have been crushing the big browns on the west canada. Sunday i slammed a 22" rainbow in that creek. First bow i had caught since the early 90s. Thank you for all your knowledge you share with us. Big props.
Nice! Congrats on the big bow!!! I explored up "that creek" only once and I didn't go very far. I rarely make it out that way to fish these days but it would be fun to explore there some time.
Awesome 👍🏻
Thank you! 😀
Love tying perdigons, very quick and easy to tie and they produce on the water.
I just got several colored UV Resins that I'll be playing with soon for some different perdigons. Can't wait to see how they come out.
love the fly - thanks. I don't trout fish anymore (living in southern Illinois), but I still love to tie - I make crappie jigs and bluegill flies. This one will be added to my collection.
Nothing wrong with crappie and bluegills! I had a great time fly fishing some big pumpkinseeds a few weeks ago!
I liked your Perdigon fly. I’m headed out to Wyoming in August and I think they should work on skinny water. Thanks for the video.
Sweet! Good luck on your trip!
Thanks for the video instructions on fly tying. Love seeing ideas for homemade fishing essentials.
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Love to see a game changer
I really need to get the streamer game going! Thanks for the suggestion!
An absolutely easy to follow instruction video. I’m fishing this Friday on the Genesee river in New York State close to the Pennsylvania border. I’m giving some lessons to a friend that wants to learn to fly fish. I’ll be showing him this video because not only did your instruction make it easy but what this fly represents. Thanks.
Thank you! If you are doing any nymphing and your buddy is new to fly fishing.. have him watch my Euro Nymphing Series. ua-cam.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7bre38GWqk0pXZggydq3Z5m.html
It is a killer pattern!
Yeah... I really like this one!
Love these perdigons, and your method is a valuable addition to my chosen perdigon steps
Yeah... I like my perdigons!
Love tying the Perdigons! The content in your videos has definitely improved my success ratio!
That's great! I love to hear that! 😊
Thanks for all the great info. I watched your whole course on euro nymphing to learn the basics and im ready to test my knowledge at my favorite river in maine in a couple of weeks. For now im trying to build ul my fly box with your tying videos, keep up the amazing work.
That's awesome! Best of luck!
Just a fish catching monster. Perfect for pocket water.
I'll be trying some perdigons. Thanks for the videos. You have helped me a lot in developing my Euro techniques. More fly tying!!
Awesome! Hope you're enjoying your time on the river!
Great looking fly.
Thanks 👍
Well done. I'm going to tie a few! Nice video.
Thanks! Enjoy them!
Perdigons are very effective and this one deserves a space in the box. Thanks for sharing, man!!
Thanks! I think so too! I got a nice 18" rainbow with it recently in some smaller water.
That’s a great little pattern! I can see how the thin profile would be successful in catching a bunch of fish in creeks and streams. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Maya! It is one to add to the arsenal!
Nice one like the hot spot
Thanks!
Love these helpful videos !!! ... please keep the fly-tying tutorials and 'how to fish' them content going....much appreciated.
Awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying them! I have many more planned!
I always thought these little, smooth looking Perdigons wouldn't be so catchy. Since this weekend I know they are.
Saterday (23 July '22) here in the Čech Republic, in the shop of Jan Šiman, I met Joao Abreu from Portugal. Joao is owner and managing director of Perdigomania. Like the name of the company makes you suspect they make Perdigons. That Saturdayafternoon we went fishing together and to try and convince myself he gave me a couple of his Perdigons. Just an hour later I was more than convinced these things are just crazy. I used them as the pointer under a floating dropper.
To make it short, within an hour I had a couple of takes and caught some rainbows and brown trout.
Thank you Joao, thank you Perdigons. Sure I'm going to tie a lot of these things.
Greetings and tight lines 🎣 from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.
Yeah... I am fairly new to them but they have caught some really nice fish for me already!
Love your videos! Glad you got another fly video up again! Will be tying some of these also!
Awesome! Thank you! Hope you're having a good season!
Love your fly tying videos.
Thank you! I’m actually tying some of these up tonight!
I also just saw you joined the Pack! Thank you!
That's awesome, Thank you.
Great video and detailed explanation on fly tying the Perdigon. It looks great. I enjoyed your series on Euro fishing, very detailed!
Thank you!
Awesome content. I cannot wait to try making all these flies. I’m new to fly fishing and tying so your videos are a huge help. Thank you
Thank you so much and thank you for joining us! I have quite a few flies that I've done on the channel.. This playlist is all of the fly tying videos ua-cam.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7ZKJSrh7WP-pftvhmwIytMK.html
Awesome fly, I’ll be trying them here in the near future! Thank for another great video!
Thanks! Good luck with them!
Once again, great fly tying tutorial! Just a really simple fly. I look forward in tying this perdigon.
Thanks! I need to tie more too. I actually just got new colored UV Resins for hotspots that I need to try out too. They're supposed to arrive today!
Would love to see some fly tying videos on your favorite jig streamer patterns coupled with the technique you use in fishing with them. Thanks for all the amazing videos. Tight lines
Yeah... I definitely need to do that! I need more experimentation time with it but I promise one day I will do that video!
Great video, been home in covid isolation here in New Zealand. I have watched most of your videos over the last few day and am getting started with some Euro nymphing. Keep up the great work
Sorry to hear about isolation but glad you watched my videos! :) Good luck when you get out on the water!
Love all the content you put out. Thank you for everything! Been absorbing it like a spunge.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the channels!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Just subscribed now after watching a couple of very practical videos & feeling your passions to share your decades long experiences in rivers with fishes. Looking forward to watching you in rivers running through. Thanks
Thank you so much! And I'm glad you've joined us!
Really like your fly tying videos, I’m new to fly fishing and learning to tie flys. Keep up the great videos
I'm glad you're enjoying them and best of luck on your fly fishing journey!
Just stared tying perdigon flies. Hopefully they will be a good fly in my box.
The first time I put this perdigon in the water it found an 18" bow in skinny water. It quickly became a confidence fly lol.
I really appreciate the comments regarding how to fish the flies you tie and what they represent.
Thanks! I like to provide a lot of detail and context for things. If you haven't seen the fly selection video I just released I'd recommend checking it out. I hope to have part II out in a few weeks. Part II will go into a lot of detail on choosing flies for certain conditions.
This seems to be an excellent pattern that is easy to tie up. I’m going to be tying some up when I can get my hands on some Solarez in black. Thanks for the video!
You can still do the nail polish but the black solarez is way better! I just got some more off amazon for some hot spot colors (orange and fl red)! Can't wait to try those too!!!
Love the vids! Keep the fly tying videos going.
Thanks! Will do! 🙂
The Gasolina perdigon seems to be the fly of the moment...tied very similar to this but with the Hends PBM 233 tinsel for the body
I had that feedback after launching this video... I just created this fly based on what I liked... but it is very similar to the gasolina which I found out afterward 😂
Would love to see some big foam hoppers/beetles/terrestrials, which would be great for a late summer trip I've got planned. Nice tie!
Yeah!! That is a really good suggestion for a summer pattern!!! Thanks! When you have a tough time getting rises when trying to match the hatch sometimes ya just gotta go big and throw a big hopper and watch em smack it!
Loving these fly tying vids. Just started getting into euro nymphing because of your videos. Going down the rabbit hole pretty fast haha
😂 Funny how that happens! 😂😂 I really don't think you'll regret it!
They look really cool and would be neat To give them a try🎣
Thanks!
Excellent video, really looking forward to the soft hackle flies, not a lot of material info out there on soft hackle how to pick and size it to the flies
Yeah... to be honest I don't tie soft hackles much but I won't put out a video unless I feel good about how I'm doing it. So I have some playing and experimenting to do... but it'll be coming for sure!
That's a great looking fly. I haven't fished that style much here in nz, but in saying that I was given a couple that were very similar to yours but had a pink bead. They definitely caught fish. Thanks for sharing.
Cool... I never tied perdigons until about a year ago but I have definitely started using them more often!
I use a bodkin or a needle to place the bead on the hook. I orient the hook in the vise clamped near the eye, hook point up. I slip the bead on the bodkin slot first, pick up the bead in my fingers, align the shaft of the bodkin with the hook point and slide the bead onto the hook.
Nice... that sounds like a good way not to drop your beads :)
Nice tie. Looking to find a bunch of euro nymphs to stock my box with.
Thanks! I like this one.
Love your work! I'm in Australia and only new to the Euro nymphing game, but what I've found over here, is that using a UV-enhanced wing-case colour resin (I use Motor Oil - Gulff), makes a big difference in the number of fish that strike the fly. I guess that the when the fly is deeper, the UV enhancement in the resin makes it more visible. A bit like fishing in deep saltwater with soft plastics like Z-man Motor Oil jerk shads.
Cool! I haven't seen that yet! Thanks for letting me know!
Nice fly, looks easy to tie. Looking forward to tying some myself and try them on the streams that I fish. Like to experiment with different shades to see what effect they have on my waters!
Yeah! Exactly! And all it takes is a different thread or body material to make that change.
Nice pattern. Maybe something like a peeking caddis pattern
Yeah... that would be a good one to explore. You guys give me a lot of good ideas!
Nice bit different then mine , will probably combine the two and them up
Cool... good luck!
Great tie! Really enjoy the patterns you tie as season progresses!
Thank you! 😊
I bought a few rainbow warriors very similar to what you’re tying and I’m new to Fly Fishing would love to win some these things are getting expensive lol
Yeah... I end up tying my own to get them the way I want them. But if you use enough of them it ends up being a little cheaper to tie your own.
Nice looking fly. Looks like it will get down deep fast. I Like hotspot flies. Maybe you can do a tying vid on dry flies that can be used for a dry/dropper setup. Like a Stimulator or Caddis fly. As always I look forward to all your videos. Can’t wait for the next one. Keep up the great job!
That's a good idea Jim! I don't utilize the dry dropper enough! When I've tried it I've had a hard time getting the dry to stay up under the weight of the nymph. It's an area I want to play with more and figure out what I like! Typical stimulators just don't do it for me...not enough float. I think something with significant foam would be important.
Would like to see a bit more on leaders for euro style fishing
Have you seen my euro nymphing series yet? I did a whole series on Euro Nymphing and Volume 2 were my leader formulas for regular and micro leaders. The playlist for that series is here ua-cam.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7bre38GWqk0pXZggydq3Z5m.html Also, the same day I recorded this fly tying video I recorded me retying my leader to more of a micro leader and extending my mainline section to avoid the connection of my fly line and leader going through my guides constantly. I also changed my connection of fly line to leader to a micro loop which is going to make a big difference when it does go through the guides. I should have that video out in the coming months.
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Yes I have it was very good - just looking for more was to make micro leaders and then figure out how to cast them
Awesome video
How about some grasshopper patterns or beatle
Or always looking for ways to make my elk hair caddis better
I've had a lot of suggestions for terrestrials! Great summer and early fall flies. They're on my list to tie for the channel! Thanks!
Buggy euronymphs
'Great video. Is it OK to use uv nail polish for flies. I enjoy watching your fishing videos. It helps me learn and understand about euro nymph fisging.thanks
Good question! I'm honestly not sure. I've never used them. If you try it, let me know what you think! The real question would be how they coat evenly and how durable they are banging into rocks in the water.
what do you think the chance is that the fish is eating the beads on these perdigons not the body?
I have wondered that before... but I do think the body of the fly is what they're after. I've heard the bead can simulate an air bubble on the fly.
Great video. I would love to see how you rig multiple flies. I have seen a few ways to do it. I am curious about your rigging.
Thanks! Have you seen my Euro Nymphing Series? I did a whole Euro Nymphing Series and Volume 3 was rigging multiple flies. Check out that series here. ua-cam.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7bre38GWqk0pXZggydq3Z5m.html
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany OH Man, I missed this episode! Thanks, this is helpful. I have been tying a surgeons loop in my main tippet ot the anchor and then off that loop attaching a small piece of tippet to my second fly. I will have to try your method and see... Thanks for the videos.
Yeah... just leave a long tag end on the triple surgeon for your dropper. Super easy!
If you were to tie some perdigons in a couple sizes other than this size, what sizes would you suggest for hook and bead? Great euro nymph video series by the way! Subscribed right away.
Thanks! I would tie them as droppers for the most part in smaller sizes. Probably size 16 (which is what I did in the video), 18 and 20. I think I did a 2.8mm on this size 16. I might stay with that size or drop down a bit smaller for a size 18 and even smaller for the 20. Maybe down to 2.0 or 2.2mm?
How important is it to use CDL for the tail? Has it been compared to other tailing materials for sink rate and fish approval?
I like it for a Perdigon but I've heard of other people using wood duck fibers or dry fly hackle fibers. If you don't have CDL you can definitely find substitutes.
How would you change this fly for steelhead ?
Bigger? Different color?
Or don’t bother, because other flys would be more effective?
Thanks
I would probably not try this for steelhead unless else is working. I'm sticking to egg patterns, buggers or stoneflies probably. However, if fishing was really tough I might try some regular nymphs if they've been in the river a while.
One thing I don't understand: This fly is meant to be fished so that the hook is up,Correct. OK but why then is the wing case on the bottom of the fly? Please advise RVV
Devin Olsen actually wrote an article about this specifically and I've seen him address this exact question on his UA-cam channel. Yes... they ride point up so the wing case would be on the bottom of the fly. A natural fly in the water will tumble around in the currents so a wing case on the bottom will not matter to the trout. It is rare that you actually see someone tie a fly on a jig hook so that it drifts exactly the right way. I do it this way because you see the gap in the slotted bead there anyway and the wing case covers it. To be honest... I doubt the fish see or care about it at all.
Flies for beginning tyers
Ah.. yes. This fly was more of an advanced one that took me some practice to get right. I do have some basic easy to tie flies that are really effective on the channel. Check out our fly tying playlist. ua-cam.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7ZKJSrh7WP-pftvhmwIytMK.html I would recommend the Caddis Larva and the Walt's Worm to start with.
what about the crystal flash comes in a bag with a zip tie? seems to take alot of wraps to make a body with it..Should I not be using that for perdigon bodies?
I personally wouldn't use crystal flash as a perdigon body. It is very thin as you noted but also a round material which is not ideal. I like the Hends Perdigon Bodies or similar. They're flat so they build an even body and just wide enough to cover the body of the fly effectively.
hoping these easy to tye flies will helh catch crappie in freshwater lakes
A lot of people tie little maribou jigs for crappie! They are really easy to tie. I don't have them on my channel but I'm sure you could search some up!
Have you guys sent out those six Perdigons? Thanks as always
Coming soon! I sorted them out tonight and threw in a Coozie too!
I'm in NZ and wondering if anyone has luck with this fly. I'm not confident but if I win, I'll definitely fish them
I didn't use Perdigons until I did a fly swap with someone from the UK. They gave me some Perdigons and they definitely caught fish! So I started exploring them more and I really like them now! Anyone else out there... let us know what you think of Perdigons.
Recommendation for tying tools?
If you're just starting out I would start with a fly tying kit such as this one. amzn.to/3OZg2Zh Just start with basic tools. You don't need to drop hundreds of dollars on tools to get started. The basic tools you'll use are a vise, bobbin to hold your thread, whip finisher, hackle pliers, scissors, a bodkin and a threader. The kit linked has all of that. I still use some of the very first tools I ever got for a kit like this. Other things like the vise and scissors you'll want to upgrade as you gain experience. I personally use the Renzetti Traveler Vise and love it... amzn.to/2VuLOB2 Good luck!
