Tungsten Blue Hot Spot Perdigon Nymph – Trout Nymph

A fast-sinking Tungsten Blue Hot Spot Perdigon designed to get down quickly to trout feeding near the bottom. This guide-used pattern combines a slim, streamlined profile with a contrasting blue hot spot.

Description

The Tungsten Blue Hot Spot Perdigon is one of our standard Perdigon patterns, stocked in our fly shop in Roscoe, NY. Its slim profile and tungsten bead help it sink quickly, making it an excellent choice when trout are holding close to the bottom.

This pattern is part of the same standard Perdigon collection our guides fish daily. If you follow us on Facebook and Instagram, these are the same flies you see featured in our fly fishing photos and videos.

Why Fish the Blue Hot Spot Perdigon?

• Tungsten bead: Helps the fly reach the trout's feeding zone quickly.

• Slim Perdigon profile: Sinks efficiently and performs well in moving water.

• Blue hot spot: Adds a contrasting point of attraction to the pattern.

• Guide-used pattern: Part of the standard Perdigon collection our guides rely on.

When to Fish It

Fish the Blue Hot Spot Perdigon when trout are feeding subsurface and you need a nymph that reaches depth efficiently. It is a useful pattern for riffles, pocket water, deeper runs and current seams.

How to Fish It

Perdigons are especially popular for tight-line and Euro nymphing techniques, but they are not limited to those methods. Our guides regularly fish these patterns under indicators as well. Adjust your weight and presentation to keep the fly drifting near the bottom.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tip

When trout are feeding near the bottom, getting your fly to the right depth is often more important than changing patterns. Start with a controlled drift close to the bottom. If you're not getting takes, experiment with your depth and weight before moving on to another fly. The Blue Hot Spot Perdigon is a useful color variation to have ready when you want to change the look of your presentation.
