PERDIGON YELLOW SALLY TUNGSTEN

Description

Perdigon Yellow Sally Tungsten – Fast-Sinking Stonefly Nymph

The Perdigon Yellow Sally Tungsten is a hatch-specific Euro-nymphing fishing fly built to imitate the Yellow Sally stonefly, a staple food source in many rivers during the summer months. Its slim, resin-coated body and tungsten bead allow it to sink quickly, making it an ideal choice for fast-moving pocket water and deep runs where trout feed close to the bottom. Designed with the Perdigon’s streamlined efficiency, this fly delivers lifelike drifts and consistent results.

Design / Features

These fly fishing flies feature a bright yellow body to match Yellow Sally coloration, ribbing for segmentation, and a resin finish for durability and sheen. A tungsten bead provides added weight, while the slender profile ensures the fly cuts through water efficiently. The bead acts as a trigger point, drawing trout in, while the streamlined build reduces drag and enhances presentation in technical waters.

When and Where to Use

The Perdigon Yellow Sally Tungsten is most effective during late spring through early fall, coinciding with Yellow Sally hatches, but also works as a year-round attractor nymph. It excels in freestones, mountain streams, and tailwaters where stoneflies thrive. Perfect for Euro-nymphing setups or as the anchor in a two-fly rig, this pattern is a proven performer in both fast current and clear water.
