Tungsten Perdigon Nymph – Rusty Orange Hot Spot

A fast-sinking tungsten Perdigon designed to get down quickly and reach trout holding near the bottom. A versatile guide-tested nymph for tight-line, Euro-style nymphing and indicator fishing.

Description

The Rusty Orange Hot Spot Perdigon is designed to sink quickly and get into the trout's feeding zone. Its streamlined Perdigon profile helps it cut through the water efficiently, while the rusty orange coloration provides a distinct presentation.

Perdigon nymphs have become extremely popular for tight-line and Euro nymphing techniques, but don't limit this pattern to one method. Our guides regularly fish these same styles of nymphs under indicators with excellent results.

Available in sizes #16 and #18, this is a useful pattern for a wide range of trout-stream conditions.

Why Fish the Rusty Orange Hot Spot Perdigon?

Getting your nymph down to the fish is often the key to success. The tungsten bead adds weight, while the slim body helps the fly sink efficiently. The rusty orange hot spot gives trout a different color presentation when you want an alternative to more traditional nymph patterns.

How to Fish It

Fish this Perdigon tight-line or Euro style, maintaining contact with the fly as it drifts through likely holding water. It also works well under an indicator, especially when you need to cover deeper runs, pools, and seams.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips

• Get to the bottom: Perdigons are designed to sink quickly. Adjust your weight and rigging so the fly reaches the trout's feeding zone without constantly snagging.

• Don't overlook indicator fishing: Although Perdigons are popular for tight-line techniques, our guides regularly fish them under indicators. Use the method that best suits the water.

• Watch your drift: A natural drift is important. Pay attention to line control and keep your presentation moving at the speed of the current.

• Change colors when needed: If trout aren't responding to your usual patterns, try the rusty orange hot spot as a different look.
