Oil Slick Perdigon
Curtis, February 2023
The Oil Slick Perdigon uses the same ribbing technique in the Oil Slick Buzzer to give off a very distinct buggy sheen. The object here is to imitate a midge larva or pupa living in rivers and streams. Even though I toss jig nymphs on Euro rigs, this is a pattern that works great in a dry/dropper rig because it can really imitate the pupating midge as it heads to the surface. This is an oft-forgotten phase that river fishers should focus on more.
