Turrall Perdigon Nymph Barbless Flies

, expertly designed for fly anglers who demand performance in both fast-flowing rivers and deep stillwaters. These fast-sinking nymphs feature sleek, UV-coated bodies and tungsten bead heads, ensuring they reach feeding depths with speed and precision – ideal for modern Euro nymphing setups.

Designed by Turrall, one of the most trusted names in British fly fishing, these barbless nymph flies not only support ethical, catch-and-release angling, but also enhance hook-up rates by penetrating more cleanly. Their slim profile allows for minimal resistance in the water, offering a natural drift that trout simply cannot ignore. For best results, fish with a fine fluorocarbon tippet (around 0.10mm) and consider tandem rigs to test different depths and attract fish more effectively.

The origin of the Perdigon fly traces back to Spain’s top competition anglers, who needed a pattern that could punch through fast current and stay in the strike zone longer. The word Perdigón, meaning "pellet” in Spanish, perfectly captures its purpose – a fly that sinks like a shot. Now a cornerstone of trout fishing nymph patterns worldwide, Perdigons have gained a strong following across Europe and beyond.
