This is a stunning selection of quality Nygren's Grayling Perdigon Jig nymphs from our fly-tying masters. One of our Artisan range of Perdigons, expertly tied on a specialist size 14 & 16 jig hooks - the Hanak H450BL.
The Perdigon - Spanish for Pellet - is a specialist fly which is slim in profile but heavy - they sink very quickly and are ideal for fishing those faster runs.
Perdigon nymphs are generally used in the faster stretches of water, due to their slim, smooth profiles, they sink very quickly and can get to the river bed quickly. This allows you longer drifts each time you cast. However, using these flies will allow you to fish those slower parts, which anglers normally pass by.
These Nygren Grayling style Perdigons have a red 'hot-spot' butt with various coloured body sections, topped off with a 3.3mm & 2.8mm slotted tungsten beads.

A perdigon fly is usually a beaded fly tied with thread on a small hook, the thread is then coated with a resin to make a slim (bullet-shaped) profile. It is believed that these flies were originally introduced by the Spanish competition anglers, however, everyone should have them in their fly boxes. Because of their size (being small), they are ideal flies to use on rivers which see lots of anglers, fish are less wary when feeding on smaller insects.
All of our flies are shipped in eco-friendly packaging and delivered FREE Of Charge to anywhere within the UK.
