Purple Perdigon
Purple Perdigon nymph is your perfect choice for late season fishing, especially for grayling. The orange butt on this pattern seems to be the winning detail. This pattern in small size, like #18 is extremely effective with French style of nymphing on classic tapered, but very long leader, a technique known as ‘peche a vue’.
Tied on top quality barbless Demmon hook with gold tungsten bead to provide extra weight. The barbless hook minimizes the damage caused to a fish. The tail is tied using Coq de Leon feathers, which gives this fly more realistic look.
Purple Perdigon nymph comes in three hook sizes #14, #16 and #18.
