Awesome! That color transition of the body is great. I've tied a lot of bodies on streamer patterns with a yarn that transitions in color along it's length for a similar effect. I think the yarn is called "hombre". There's a tinsel called rainbow that has the same effect for bodies of that type. That quill body stuff is cool, even better when coated with the resin. Nothing I've done comes close to that, not even latex caddis larva. I like the fact you added legs to the perdigon, at 90 degrees no less. I've thought the same as Hank, they look a little anemic without some "wiggles" in the mix. Everyone has their own ideas on fishing, I'm happy you share yours, thanks :o)

That is awesome. Great Fly . I love it. I’m gonna try it. Thank you very much for the video.

being new to fly tying I have found your videos very valuable! Im appreciative on not just the how but the why you are doing each step. Thanks so much!

Improved indeed! Sink ability of perdigon, buggines of traditional.... dream combo! "VladiGon" is going places!

Outstanding! Well thought out and very well tied.

Yes. That whip finish on the front of the partridge was the most important learning point for people tying legs onto their thin or small nymphs.

That's the type of nymph I like, slim and heavy.

Very lovely fly and tying. Will try that one out! Thanks :)

Very nice Vladimir - thanks for sharing! The legs really help - always thought that perdigons looked a little naked. I don't have any CDL so I will substitute Woodduck flank feather fibers for the tails. Cheers! Hank

Beautiful pattern. And colours can be changed to suit.

Nice nymph, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I found the small brushes for UV resin very helpful but it last not so long and at the end it will land somewhere in the ocean in th worst case. I will use my package but don't buy it again 🤔

These are very elegant flies.

Nice job!

very nice!!

Next level - as usual 🍺

The color gradient in the body is an interesting innovation. Have you tried CDC instead of partridge to imitate moving legs, but with possibly less impact on sink rate?

Why do you tie the legs perpendicular to the hook shank? I’ve always angled them back like a cdc collar

how long will perdigon nymphs catch fish? 20 years ago a copper john was better, it became so fished that the fish learned to stop eating it. Same with many others such as pheasant tails, RS2, most dry flies, buggers, in fact in over 200 hours of fishing i've never caught a fish on a bugger. I start every trip fishing buggers, then switch to streamers and then to nymphs. Soon (ish) the fish will stop taking perdigons and something else will be crowned "the best" perhaps the old styles will come back, wet flies and the like. I fish the provo river, which supposedly has over 4000 fish per mile, yet I have never caught a single fish on a perdigon. I've caught dozens and dozens on regular old blood worms. In fact not even the silly cloth ones that most use, or the rubber ones. Just simple red wire wrapped around a hook. Fished under a very large hopper usually. Fish will look at the hopper, and take the worm. With the same setup using every kind of perdigon I have tried, such as the "best ones" from local fly shops, I have never caugh a fish on one. From my own research its silly to think you have to "get down to the fish" when fish are predators. When they see a food item that they think is safe to eat they will move up and down the water column to eat it. The same things hold true with traditional tackle, Spoons and spinners no longer work in my area. People have over fished them, caught those fish who will eat them until they have been stressed to death, and the next generations will no take a spoon or spinner, you can catch fish on a plastic replica of a fish though. However I find those cruel and wont use them. you almost always kill the fish when you catch them with 2 or 3 treble hooks stabbing them all over the face, eyes, and gills. its only a matter of time before those lures stop producing fish.

That's nice, but if it has lively partridge legs, then it does *not* have the perdigon sinking rate. Can't have it all, physics doesn't work that way. Perhaps you meant to say this was a hybrid, or a compromise. That's kind of like putting a parachute on a rock, and saying "it has the drop rate of a rock, but also the soft landing of a parachute!"

Ofcourse nobody is a born speaker. But I'm sorry to say, the way you talk and explain what and why you're doing something, is impossible to listen at. It's to much uuuh uuuh and it's I I I all the time. Not very good.

do you have discord or social media? ive only been tying for 3 months and fly fishing for one year and your channel by far is the best for new tyers to not only learn but to build on the techniques you teach to make my own style thats easy to mix styles and patterns in a way that makes sense i hope you understand what im trying to say
