Guideline Nymph - Pliva Perdigon
High-quality nymph by Guideline (Norway). Tied with first class materials, with Tungsten beads and a barbless jig hook.
The Pliva Perdigon is a great pattern to chase Trout and Grayling all season long. It works on any river with mayflies and due to its orange Hot Spot it sill catches fish in difficult conditions. Its name comes from the famous river Pliva in Bosnia, where this pattern has caught many big Grayling.
A few years ago so called 'Perdigon Nymphs' were mainly used by competition fly fishermen from Spain. Nowadays they can be found in nymph boxes all over Europe. Their main characteristics are a fine tail made from Coq de Leon or other natural fibers, varnished body and a black thorax. Due to their slim silhouette they reach the bottom very fast, but are aditionally weighted with tungsten beads. As a result of the special way of tying smaller hooks can be used, which is a big plus when fishing for selective and educated trout and grayling.
Tipp: These nymphs are fished the most effective with long (10 ft. or 11 ft.) and sensitive fly rods (#2 or #3) and thin leaders.
