Thanks for sharing that lighter trick. That’s awesome. Been a struggle finding ways to make sure I don’t get a tag of thread and this should help a lot.
Love the name, love the fly. Excited to try the ~20 variants of perdigons I've tied up this week this weekend =) Its hard to put down flies that i KNOW produce fish to try new things though haha.
Because it’s easier, and nymphs tumble around in the water column anyways. The fish will not know if it’s “upside down”, or else we’re in serious trouble as fisherman lol. You will not experience a difference in catch rate. I think Devin Olsen did something on this, it may be on his website.
