Perdigon - Frenchi

Perdigon flies are extremely heavy, boasting a tungsten weighted bead. They are also very smooth being coated by UV resin, so they get down deep very quickly. I find these to be some of the best lead flies to fish. Many times I like to fish a brightly colored "attractor" lead fly, then drop something more natural and unweighted off the back when fishing two flies. That makes this flashy frenchi great for that application. The brightness of the flash dubbing collar on this Frenchi style, mixed with a hot spot really attract the fish, but it also has a more natural quill body that looks like a nymph. Drop a small midge or baetis off the the back, and you have a recipe for an amazing day on the water.

I need to re-fill my perdigon box, so in the next few weeks I will be tying quite a few different styles of these. Stay tuned to watch all of the different perdigon styles I tie. Make sure you are subscribed and hit that bell notification so you won't miss out on any future videos.

Next week I will be tying an extremely easy Perdigon. It is a midge style that can be tied extremely small and will work great anywhere you use flies like zebra midges. So dont forget to subscribe and hit that bell notification in order to get updates on future videos.
