2022 Championship Flies - Gasolina Perdigon 

Very happy that team USA members are willing to share their patterns with us recreational fishermen. Love your video series as well as your RU-vid work

Good video bud. Thank you for sharing. That roller, if anyone is wondering, it is called "Fiskars Fabric cutter". Works well with carbon fiber and fiberglass matt/fabric & feather shaft flush cuts.

This was a great beginners kit for a great price. ru-vid.comUgkxKRURvLsu9Vvyw7gIuvt8FsApoQNCdz-1 Its given us a huge variety to test out and see what works well and what we like to use. Majority of the flies have stayed together well, but some of the rainbow warriors did unravel after catching a few blue gill. All in all, this was a great kit and are so happy with the purchase and value for money.

Thanks Devin. I like all the options you are giving. Thanks also for Confidence Flies and videos series about nymphing.

I love tan thread under medium flash with fluorescent orange hotspot and black wing case. Switching threads mid tie is tricky but when done right is flawless. & I use a lighter to get those thread ends tidy if needed also. Cover the tail fibers with your finger to block the flame and you’re good

Devin always an excellent presentation thank you for always sharing your knowledge!!!!

Thank you Devin for sharing recipe for this perdigon .It’s a 🔥!

Devin I love your video series. Thank you for sharing recipe for this perdigon.

Very detailed instructions. Excellent camera work!

I appreciate that you give a bunch of variations based on tinsel and thread color. Thanks!

One thing I do, and I am new to this so while it works I can't say it necessarily is optimal, but does cut down on the supplies you need to buy, is to use translucent opal colored tinsel over thread of the color I want. The body can be any color thread, then when wrapped in the tinsel that thread color comes through.

Nicely done. Thank you

Just got the flash in. Time to tie a few gasolinas 😉

Ordered the materials from for you for this pattern earlier today!!

I actually tue and use a nymph similar to this but use pink or purple flash and they work great in GSM and also near tellico

Thanks for the video, it does pretty well down here in Chile

How many fish do Perdigon Nymph last you I heard there one of the most durable flys and can last yeats

Devin excellent fly. Another option is hends perdigon tinsel. The shade I use is pb233 I believe. It’s the color that I was shown by numerous competitors and it works very well

Will need to add this one to all the supply I just ordered from your store :)

I'm gonna try it on Chub, Bulgaria here, Vit or Osam river. I'd like to see if the nase will like it too.

killer pattern here in idaho have you ever fished the owyhee river in the idaho/oregon border its a blue ribbon brown trout fishery where you cant harvest brown trout so they grow big

Great tie but i cant seem to find stock anywhere of the Hends 233

Is the Gasolina mainly tied with a copper bead Devin?

Most effective nymph I have ever used!

Wow

I was ready for "Yet Another Gasolina Video" however this was not that. Great info and color combo slide. As fly designs get smaller and ultra simple I am tempted to try a bare hook with a bead glued on. I'm sure it would catch fish and I would be very disappointed...

Hello Devin - Regarding the hook, I find it confusing that for Perdigon, some are using nymph hook and slotted bead, and some are using Jig hooks. In this video, you used one of my favorite options (FullingMill Jig Force FM5125 hook). Not sure I understand the logic about using one versus the other. My rationale would be to use a jig hook for my point nymph and a nymph hook with a smaller bead as top fly. So, I ended up using a FullingMill Jig Force FM5125 hook. I really like them as they are super strong, and I really like the wide gap. I feel it gives me a compromise between the standard nymph hook and the regular jig hook because the eyelet is horizontal with the shank as a regular nymph hook but with a 45-degree angle. Greatly appreciate if you have additional guidance on this - best - Stephane

How do you like that brand of Resin! I’ll see you when you come to Albuquerque!

Hey man, what vice would you recommend for a beginner at this?! I'd like to "buy once, cry once" haha

ahh yes! Just what the doctor youtube recommended.
