For anyone tying this fly, there are 2 modification I would make compared to the video. 1. Use a slotted tungsten bead if using jig style hook. It will sit better on a jig hook. 2. The silver wire I use in the video is a little thicker than it could be. It was a .008" or 0.2mm wire. I would recommend a thinner wire to keep that thin profile. I now go with .004" or 0.1mm silver wire.

[@John-of5sh]

Cool! Subtle! Simple! Very cool! There will be some of these packed for my trip down South! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & time!

[@leomccormick4368]

Great job on the Zebra Perdigon. I see a lot of cool variations on the Perdigon, and it’s definitely a productive fly. Thanks again for all the great videos!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@corndog8183]

Will definitely be tying this one. Thanks for the video. Please keep showing euro style nymphs to tie.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I plan to keep adding fly tying videos through out the year. It helps me explore more options myself and expand my own fly box too. Only problem is I keep giving away my flies and have to tie more 😂😂😂

[@davidmultari4555]

I enjoy watching the tying videos. I learn something new all the time . Thank you

[@georgescofield6834]

I just tied 5 of these. I’ll try em tomorrow. Thanks for the instruction

Well Happy Birthday! And I appreciate your words on what I do for the community 🙂❤

[@frankklimko9058]

Simple and a quick tie, you can't beat that!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I like simple patterns that are effective! This one has a bit more to it with the UV Resin but still pretty easy.

[@FryFlier]

Love the UTC threads as well, all flies nymph would be a great continuation. Thank you

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yeah... they're my favorite honestly. I need to do some restocking!

Nice pattern. The Sulky tinsel is a great material. I will certainly tie these. Thank you for the euro content. I recently started euronymphing, with the help of your channel. My catch rate has drastically improved.

I definitely plan on more fly tying throughout the year!

[@troutfishintrucker3527]

Excellent demo, as always everything is explained and practical, just tied up 25 regular zebra midges in various sizes. Now I have a new project for this week. Thanks for your time and your channel!!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I never have enough flies! 😂 I honestly need to spend so much more time tying but I never seem to have time with everything I try to do. I have dreams of full fly boxes and lots of options but it doesn't really happen 😂

[@troutfishintrucker3527]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I understand, these days just don’t seem to be able to push enough time aside to tie and fish. Hopefully this next few months will level out so I can do some layovers and fish Wyoming and South Dakota, Colorado the 3rd week of July. Are there going to be any more of the euro fishing series. I bet those are really time eaters. Looking forward to whatever comes down the line

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

YES! Definitely more coming in the Euro Series on the more advanced side. I'm doing a lot of fly tying videos so I'll be ready for the Fly Selection video. And there will be more "breaking down water" videos. Someone had a great idea of "When to NOT Euro Nymph" which I'm planning as well. On the adventure side I have some good stuff planned this year. If my kids go on a trip they're supposed to do, my wife and I will be free and are planning on heading to Maine for a week where we'll film the whole adventure. It's a trial run for what we want to do in retirement and even the summers after the kids are gone. Our plan is to travel, fish and film our adventures!

[@patrickhumphrey606]

I love this fly. Thanks so much. I can’t wait to try this fly

Cool! Good luck with it!

Thanks, will do!

Love your videos, waiting patiently for your fly selection video in your euro nymphing series

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I wanted to get a few more fly tying videos in before the fly selection video but it will be the next video in the Euro Series. I expect to have it done this spring.

[@steve4256]

Enjoy your videos , nice easy fly .Thanks

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks 👍

[@120ingram]

I liked the application of the UV resin. Doing it in two steps looks good.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I did 2 steps because I wanted more to fill in the wire ribbing a bit more. If it was a smoother thread body without wire then I might just do 1 application on the body. But thinner the better to start!

[@danielalva5362]

Great video. More perdigon bomber/euro nymph tying videos. Thanks for the instruction.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I may tie some perdigons with a bigger bead coming too... I like that bomb style and I like heavy flies. Will definitely be testing out a bunch this year!

[@Mouafishingthings]

Nice fly ! Gonna try this out as I love the midge pattern already!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

yeah... always a great midge pattern. Would be good to tie really small like a midge too.

[@BIGJ3748]

Just started tying. Appreciate the info.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

If you just started, I woud start with some of the other fly tying vides on the channel. Maybe the Peacock Ice Dub Nymph, the Walt's Worm, the Sexi Stone or the Caddis Larva. I have a fly tying playlist on the homepage our KZbin with our fly tying videos. Good luck and enjoy!

[@Butcher-xk9wc]

Great pattern!! Definitely gonna tie a bunch!!!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks 👍

[@williammiller353]

Never done any perdigons, will have to give it a try after you made it look very easy. Good job.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

The key is keeping them slim and not overdoing anything.. it took me a while to keep them down to size.

[@mikeseguin4062]

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thank you, Sir! I have much more planned this year. Rolling out the fly tying videos because they're easier to do and I needed the time to build a new web site that I'm hoping to have launched this coming week. The fly tying also will help with the next Euro Nymphing Series video on fly selection.

[@Wicked03GT]

thanks for the video, im just getting into Euro nymphing and starting to look at easy to tie patterns on my skill level that I can use to get me on the stream. This is a winner, I got the materials besides the UV, which is on the way.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I definitely recommend learning at least some sort of Perdigon as it offers some variation to your options.

[@rickbeggs4300]

Great video, I really like the idea of the flash materials and will tie some using Krystal Flash.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That would be a great ribbing material! The wire makes the fly a little thicker once you add the resin. Krystal Flash would keep the profile smaller!

[@matthasselbeck6941]

Sweet looking fly!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks 👍

[@rushthezeppelin]

I've done similar to this in my euro nymph selection. The really cool thing is you can tie a super tiny body to imitate size 20-22 midges while still using a bigger bead and hook. Still quite effective for those fish keying on smaller midges.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Definitely!!! I love perdigons for small droppers!!

[@captainkoo]

Great idea 💡! I have a hard time tying size 18,20 flies

[@rushthezeppelin]

@@captainkoo I don't know how anyone does it without magnification. I have good eyesight and I struggle with anything 18 and smaller that is 1x long. Even with the small body on a big hook it's tricky for me to keep them super consistent.

What I have learned sing sally Hanson clear & UV coatings. To keep from getting so much liquid on my flies is to trim about 2/3 to 3/4 of Brussels off as soon as I get a new bottle.

[@ph1shstyx]

I've been having a lot of success with this fly recently by replacing the tail CDL with just 2 strands of red krystal flash. I've seen it called an inferno midge elsewhere, but I tie it exactly like a zebra midge perdigon just with that one replacement.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That sounds awesome! I might give that a try next time! Thanks!

[@willyboyw.5771]

I use red flash on my Pheasant tails too. I call it my Red-Tail Sniper. When they're biting, they hit it hard.

Just my 2 cents, trim a bunch of hairs from the nail brush. Then for the UV curing, I'd recommend some ventilation. I have seen some folks developing strong allergies over time. For the start of the GSP thread there is a reverse technic but I can't remember the name of it. Good stuff!
