The best inventions are always born out of necessity. Tim Drummond's Rusty Nail Perdigon is a perfect example of this trope. This perdigon-style nymph was created to match the color palette of the rusty spinners that show up in abundance on the Colorado River. Designed to be both durable and heavy, Tim's Rusty Nail is a must-have fly for rivers like the Big C. It also works great as a searcher nymph when prospecting new water.
In this video, Anglers All's resident fly tying expert and Umpqua Feather Merchants Signature Tyer Daryl Eakins takes us through the process of tying Tim Drummond's Rusty Nail Perdigon from start to finish.
