Hot Spot Perdigon
This UV coating allows this fly to sink quick and acts as an extra attractant for trout. Must have fly for any river in the US. Very very good PMD attractor.
The Hot Spot Perdigon is a compact attractor nymph built for fast depth and quick recognition. Its smooth Perdigon body sinks efficiently, while the hot spot gives trout a bright focal point in the drift.
This pattern is useful when water has color, current is moving fast, or trout need a little extra trigger to pick out the fly. It can work as a confidence pattern in deep runs, pocket water, riffles, and faster seams where subtle flies disappear too easily.
Fish it as a point fly, on a Euro nymphing rig, or under an indicator. It is a good choice when you want the sink rate of a Perdigon with a sharper visual trigger than a purely natural nymph.

FAQs
What does the Hot Spot Perdigon imitate?
The Hot Spot Perdigon imitates a slim mayfly nymph, midge pupa, or small aquatic bug drifting near the bottom, with a bright trigger spot to help trout lock onto it. It is compact, dense, and built to get down fast without looking like a tiny Christmas ornament.
When should I fish a Hot Spot Perdigon?
Fish it in riffles, runs, seams, pocket water, and deeper slots when trout are feeding below the surface. It is especially useful in fast current, stained water, or pressured water where a small nymph needs to sink quickly and still stand out just enough.
How should I fish the Hot Spot Perdigon?
Tight-line it, euro-nymph it, or dead drift it under an indicator. Keep it near the bottom and let it move naturally with the current. Perdigons are made to cut through the water column fast, so get it into the trout lane and let the drift do the talking.
Why does the hot spot help?
The hot spot gives trout a small visual target on an otherwise slim, natural-looking fly. That little pop of color can trigger eats when fish are seeing lots of tiny nymphs but need one extra reason to choose yours. Subtle fly, tiny bullseye, bad trout decision.
What fish will eat a Hot Spot Perdigon?
Trout are the main target, including rainbows, browns, brook trout, and cutthroat feeding subsurface. It is a great fly when fish are hugging bottom, the current is quick, and you need something small, heavy, and politely dangerous.
