Perdigon Nymph - Fly Tying Instructions by Charlie Craven

[@Single_Handed_7.62]

Mr. Craven, I very much enjoy your videos. An amputation while deployed in the military forced me to be a southpaw. So I enjoy seeing a left handed master at the vice. Thank you very much for the videos. I started tying before getting into fly fishing. I still don’t know how to fly fish very well, but I find tying my own flies immensely therapeutic both physically and mentally.

I hope you found a Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing program near you.

[@rd2957]

[@jamesvatter5729]

You made it look simple, Charlie.

[@JeffDriskill]

The more I fish them, the more I like them. A nice rainbow took a #14 tonight right before dark.

[@leemowers9395]

Nicely ties, thanks

This fly would be killer on the Provo river in Utah!

[@marclawson7552]

Please never say anything about the Provo river. There are already way too many people there.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

@@marclawson7552 True story, doubt anything i'd say would change that.

[@ride.your.bike.]

Solid tie

[@josephh957]

Jedi master of fly tying you are 😁

[@metubewot]

Very nice indeed.

[@tradefalcone1235]

amazing

[@flydryriver4966]

I used food safe mineral oil on my peacock quills, turkey biots and goose biots , no scent to put fish off and keeps them super supple for tying and never get breakages.

[@flydryriver4966]

Oh and nice tie Charlie not that you ever reply, but we have to stroke that ego ;-)

[@CharliesFlyBox]

I never reply?

[@Lukasz_Fishing_Ireland]

very nice ☺️🍀

[@fishin360]

Very nice…

[@cpayne1757]

Proof that perdigons can be tied without jig hooks. Do you notice any performance issues while fishing this fly...?

[@andyk914]

Does the oil on the Polish quills interfere with the resin adhesion?

[@markusviol200]

I don't get the vegetable trick. What do you put on the quills to keep them softer straight out of the package?

[@Single_Handed_7.62]

@Markus Viol, He said he rubs in a drop or two of vegetable oil (veggie based cooking oil) onto the quills and then puts them back in the package. The oil softens the quills. I hope that clarified it for you, sir. Happy holidays!

[@rudychavira5558]

Does it really matter thread color, it seems to be all covered up?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

@@rudychavira5558 it shows in the thorax/hotspot

[@GoneFishingNow]

That looks sick!

[@timothytapio4252]

That's an 18? I don't have near that room on mine...

[@jowhi9296]

Hey sir. beautiful fly. This catches my eye with the detail. I do have a question... seems to be. big debate about jig hooks vs normal nymph hook, do you feel the normal nymph also improves landing rates? just curious

[@ColinD0131]

Lol o man guys he eadited out the mistakes. I thought i saw there was a glitch lol matrix is real people😂

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]
