This is a simple, Perdigon-style nymph that combines a realistic quill body with a bright holographic hot spot. You will lose a lot of these flies so you won’t have an emotional breakdown when you lose one on the bottom. You’ll have a full box of them because they are quick and easy to make. We’ll tie this one with Magic Quill and then a second one with peacock quill so you can see the difference.
