Tungsten Caddis Green Perdigon Nymph – Trout Fly

A fast-sinking Tungsten Caddis Green Perdigon designed to get down quickly to trout feeding near the bottom. This guide-used pattern combines a slim Perdigon profile with a green caddis-inspired appearance.

Description

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

The green color gives this pattern a caddis-inspired profile, making it a useful option when trout are feeding on subsurface caddis larvae or other aquatic insects.

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 Caddis Green Perdigon?

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

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

• Caddis green color: A useful color choice when trout are feeding on caddis larvae and other green aquatic insects.

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

When to Fish It

Fish the Caddis Green Perdigon when trout are feeding subsurface and you need a nymph that reaches depth efficiently. It is especially useful in 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

Caddis larvae are an important food source for trout throughout the season. When you see caddis activity or suspect trout are feeding on the bottom, try a green nymph pattern. Fish it deep with a controlled drift, paying particular attention to the seams and slower water alongside faster currents.
