Purple and Pink Perdigon is a great Perdigon nymph pattern that is super effective in fall and winter time. During warm winters and high water levels, this pattern works great for trout. Graying also loves this fly, especially on cloudy days when the water is crystal clear. Purple and Pink Perdigon nymph pattern is designed by Mihai Vasilescu, member of Romanian National Fly Fishing Team.
