Description
The Oil Slick Perdigon is a modern nymph pattern designed to imitate midge larvae or pupae in rivers and streams. Developed by Curtis Fry of Fly Fish Food, this fly utilizes a unique ribbing technique inspired by the Oil Slick Buzzer, resulting in a distinct, buggy sheen that effectively attracts fish. Its slim profile and smooth finish allow it to sink rapidly, making it ideal for targeting fish in fast-moving waters Hook size 16-18.
Pro Tip
Overcast Conditions: Utilize the Oil Slick Perdigon during overcast days. The fly's flashy body and UV metallic pink tungsten bead enhance its visibility in low-light conditions, making it more enticing to fish.
