Tying a BWO Perdigon with Semperfli Iridescent Perdigon Body
Perdigons are simple and easy to tie, and they work. In fact, this BWO Perdigon saved the day for me while guiding this past spring. Water was low and clear and fish were skittish. We'd just come off a high traffic weekend, which didn't help. The first day of the two-day trip, we caught a few fish but not nearly as many as I'd hoped. That night, I went home and tied up a batch of these. Game, set, match! Fish after fish took this fly and I ended up with a very happy client!
Here are the materials used to tie this pattern, many of which are available through Wholesale Fly Company, https://www.wholesaleflycompany.com
