Field Notes

A perdigon is a fast-sinking nymph designed to get down quickly in moving water and present a compact profile to trout. It is especially useful as a point fly in euro-nymphing or tight-line rigs, and it can also work under an indicator when fish are holding near the bottom.

Pros

  • Slim profile sinks quickly
  • Good for getting down in current
  • Barbless hook is fish-friendly

Cons

  • Small size can be hard to see and handle
  • Less effective when fish are feeding high in the water column
