Guideline Nymph - Copper Dreams Perdigon
High-quality nymph by Guideline (Norway). Tied with first class materials, with Tungsten beads and a barbless jig hook.
The Copper Dreams is a classic Perdigon pattern and works great on many Trout and Grayling rivers across Europe - both in clear and slightly colored water. The all over copper tone in combination with a red hot spot results in a great, imitative look of small mayflies.
A few years ago so called 'Perdigon Nymphs' were mainly used by competition fly fishermen from Spain. Nowadays they can be found in nymph boxes all over Europe. Their main characteristics are a fine tail made from Coq de Leon or other natural fibers, varnished body and a black thorax. Due to their slim silhouette they reach the bottom very fast, but are aditionally weighted with tungsten beads. As a result of the special way of tying smaller hooks can be used, which is a big plus when fishing for selective and educated trout and grayling.
Tipp: These nymphs are fished the most effective with long (10 ft. or 11 ft.) and sensitive fly rods (#2 or #3) and thin leaders.

In addition to modern rods and reels, this impressive selection also includes high-quality wading clothes and all kinds of accessories.
