Purple Queen Perdigon Nymph - Copper Bead
The "Purple Queen Perdigon" nymphs are part of our new "Tactical Series" nymph collection. These premium perdigons use the finest materials available. They are tied with precision by our most experienced fly tier.
The "Purple Queen Perdigon - COPPER Bead " features a unique varnishing process for unrivalled quality.
Two types of varnish are used, applied in 4 stages:
- The first two coats use a ceramic finishing varnish, designed to seal in the colours of the materials for a lasting finish. Each coat requires 48 hours of drying time.
- The third coat is a UV resin, cured under a UV lamp.
- The fourth and final coat is also a UV resin, but it is cured by direct exposure to sunlight for 10 hours.
That makes 4 coats of varnish in total!
These multiple coats of varnish and UV resin make the nymph highly resistant to wear, impacts against obstacles and abrasion from stones.
These perdigons are also tied on exceptionally high-quality Hanák hooks:
- H 230 BL in sizes 12 and 14.
- H 130 BL in sizes 14, 16 and 18.
These exceptionally consistent, sharp hooks are among the best in the world.

Optimised sink rate
Thanks to their smooth, varnished bodies, perdigons sink quickly through the water column. This allows them to reach deeper areas and fish holding near the bottom, even in fast currents.
Match the weight to the river conditions:
To avoid spooking fish, it is essential to let the nymph drift as naturally as possible. The weight has a considerable impact on the quality of your drifts.
If you fish "too heavy", your line will be too tight. The nymph will drag underwater and alert the fish.
If you fish "too light", your nymph will stay in the upper layers of the water and be swept away very quickly by the current.
To cover every situation, La Fine Mouche's "Tactical Series" nymphs are available in a range of weights.
