A year ago I saw a photo of a midge perdigon that caught my eye on Facebook from a fly tyer named Jarid Church. The fly had the appearance of being simple but deadly, which is always my favorite fly tying combination. I tied some and took them to the river with a lot of success on a local tailwater with picky trout. Since then I've used the pattern on a range of rivers and it has been consistently successful and especially good for sight fishing.
