Perdigone’s nymphs are very simple to tie, and in many situations very effective. They come from Spanish boxes, and one of those fly fisherman gave me information about those patternt a few years ago.Construction is very easy: tail, body with UV resin (usually made of holo or pearl tinsel) and bead. Can be tied on jig hooks or with straight shank models.
Very important is a thread, should be flat – the best in my opinion is the UTC in size 140, some tiers prefer 210’s for bigger hooks.
In my pattern I have covered gold holo tinsel by brilliant transparent synthetic Quill (Hemingway brand) – honestly recommend!
