Tying a 2-Tone Wired Perdigon Fly pattern For Trout and Panfish - Piscator Flies

I've been tying quite a few Perdigons over the winter to fill in the blank spots in my fly boxes. I've had a ton of success using tungsten Perdigon flies in the creeks, rivers, and lakes. Trout and panfish have had a hard time passing up these little morsels and I've been honing the patterns over the year based on their performance. 

You can use a variety of colors of wire, it's best if you have a good contrast to mimic natural nymphs. Tand and olive, black and copper, pink and brown have all worked out quite nicely for me. Let me know if you find a good color scheme to add to my arsenal.

If you get a little too generous with the Bone Dry and it seeps into the hook eye. No problem, just use a bodkin to clear the hole.
