Feathersmith was born from the passion we have here at Feathersmith for fly fishing. We treat all of our flies as we would a piece of jewellery and look at each as a miniature work of art - it's all about quality materials and attention to detail.
All of our Feathersmith kits include access to a full step-by-step tying video, along with associated information on:
- The fly patterns history
- How to best fish the finished fly
This eleventh in our series of kits is our first foray into the world of 'resin covered flies' - better known as The Perdigon.
This nymph is perfect for targeting both Trout and Grayling on rivers and stillwaters and is one of the most successful nymph patterns in Autumn & Winter - especially in the faster/deeper water.
This Quill Perdigon nymph pattern is suitable for:
Target Species: Grayling & Brown Trout
Water Types: Rivers & Stillwaters
Location: All UK Rivers
Tying Difficulty: Easy
Our Quill Perdigon nymph kit contains:
- AHREX FW541 hooks (10 each of sizes #12, #14 & #16)
- Tungsten Beads (3.2mm, 2.8mm & 2.4mm)
- Solder Wire 0.3mm
- Semperfli Classic Waxed (Black)
- Strung Cock Hackle (Grizzly)
- Peacock Eye Natural
- Hot-Spot: Glo-Brite No.4 Scarlet
- Varnish: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails
- Pre-Tied Sample Quill Perdigon
Contained inside each kit is a leaflet which will direct you to a secret page on our website where all the videos can be accessed.
With the help of some professional fly tyers, we've identified some really beautiful and unique fly patterns, gathered together all of the materials from world-class and well-respected manufacturers (like Semperfli & Ahrex) and then created a kit which allows you to tie one specific pattern - 30 of each in 3 different hook sizes.
Here's what's included when you purchase one of our pattern-specific kits:
- A kit full of world-class materials - more than enough to tie all 30 flies in the kit
- Information detailing the history of the fly you are tying
- A video tutorial of how to tie the fly - presented by a professional fly tyer
- Information on how to use and fish the finished fly
The other piece of advice you will always hear is "It's more expensive to tie your own flies than it is to buy them." - not anymore it isn't, our Feathersmith kits allow you to tie a stunning pattern with the very best materials available - all for less than £1 per fly - now that is great value.

I recently received a fly tying kit, and I am thoroughly impressed with both its quality and outstanding presentation. From the moment I opened the box, it was clear that great care had been taken in curating this kit. Everything is exceptional quality—durable, precise, and designed for both beginners and seasoned fly tiers. The materials provided are vibrant and high-grade, ensuring every fly created is top-notch. The presentation of the kit is elegant and organized, with each component neatly placed, making it easy to find everything you need. Overall, it’s a fantastic, well-thought-out kit that truly elevates the fly tying experience!
As a very novice fly tier who likes to buy all the stuff he doesn’t need, these kits are great. Everything you need in one box that enables you to tie some great flies! Can’t recommend them highly enough!
What can I say… Brilliant !! Superb service, I received this kit by the next day! I was totally surprised, the kit came well presented with top quality ingredients, I put the kit on my desk to tie on my day off!
The following day I got another package with a letter? a pack of hooks and an apology for sending the Wong hooks for the beads supplied, I hadn’t even had chance to check… absolutely blown away with this level of after service care!!
The tutorial and recipe cards are brilliant, informative, clear and concise!
The biggest thing it has taught me is that quality is so important in fly tying, it really has given me confidence in my tying and I will be buying another kit in the future, maybe even some materials!
Lovely freebie included thank you !! So you do stickers? I love a sticker and with your artwork I think they would look amazing on my fly boxes 😉
our post arrives after midday just as lunch is ready so its early afternoon before i get to sit at my vice, its midnight by the time i finish tying and when i get to bed and my wife starts to complain i say its Richard's fault!! its down to the quality of his Feathersmith kits
