Perla Dorata
The use of a large and heavy stonefly nymph is often directed to tempt all those trout that, laying close to the bottom of the deepest river stretches, appear indifferent to every flies which swim at a relative distance over their head. The purpose of this nymph is not only to attract the fish with its imitative shape, but also to push it to an instinctive reaction, because allured by a succulent bait that demands little effort to be preyed. Substantially our corpulent fly is able to stimulate the trout voracity, so that the fish, for an unconditioned reflex, does not resist to bite a such tasty meal. To result so effective, our artificial must have specific structural qualities and we have to use it in a way that exalts its luring power.
  Analysing the structural characteristics of the fly, as first factor, in terms of importance, we must put in evidence the weight, which must be remarkable and sufficient to bring quickly the nymph close to the river bottom. To realise an artificial really heavy, we can recourse to hooks of good size and with a long shank – in practice suitable to tie a large plecoptera imitation – which must be appropriately weighted with consistently quantity of lead wire, or also with one or more metal beads: this second element will work also as an enticement for the most curious trout. Moreover the fly can be dressed with tails and legs, because such appendixes flutter when are invested by the water current and consequently increase the bait allurement.
  Among all the patterns of stonefly nymph tied with metal beads, one of the more interesting is the Perla Dorata, an artificial suitable for fishing on fast and deep waters. This fly shows a so elevated alluring power to induce to take also those large trout that, lazy and apparently bored, spend a good part of their own existence resting in the deep pool.
  As I pointed out, with heavy weighted nymphs, and therefore also with the Perla Dorata, we have often to adopt a presentation technique to render them particularly attractive. In practice, we have to make the casts to the opposite bank and with an inclination upstream to give the fly time to reach nearly the bottom when it covers the fish lie. Then we have to repeatedly move up and down the rod tip, so to make jump the nymph between the stones of the river bottom. Proceeding in this way, the trout will see our imitation that appears and disappears in front of its nose and the incautious behaviour of a such imprudent prey will foment its bellicosity, causing its instinctive attack.

INSTRUCTIONS

 

Perla dorata 01
I face the first step of the Perla Dorata building by inserting two golden beads on the hook shank –  the dimension of these beads must proportionate to the hook I used – placing them quite close to the hook eye

 

Perla dorata 02
I fix the hook into the vice jay and I turn a piece of lead wire around the read part of its shank, creating an additional ballast structure. Next I partially cover the lead spirals with the black thread

 

Perla dorata 03
In proximity of the hook bend, I secure two fibres form a yellow goose biot, placing them so that their tips extend backwards for approximately four or five millimetres and giving them a “V” shape, in order to imitate the tails of a young plecoptera

 

Perla dorata 04
On the fixing point of the tails, I tie in a piece of small oval gold tinsel. Next I wax a short section of thread and I apply on it an abundant pinch of yellow polypropylene mixed with hare’s fur hair. I realise a compact dubbing and I wrapped it along the three rear fifth of the hook shank, so to create the fly abdomen

 

Perla dorata 05
Turning in wide coils the tinsel round the abdomen, I form the ribbing of the Perla Dorata

 

Perla dorata 06
In front of the abdomen, I secure a wide strip of fibres cut off from a speckled turkey tail feather, placing it so that overhangs the abdomen. Next I fix two fibres from a yellow goose biot at the hook side, tying them in front of the abdomen and with their apexes extended backwards and slightly downwards for a few some millimetres, like the first pair of legs of the insect

 

Perla dorata 07
I cut off the biots surplus and I wax a new segment of the thread, distributing on it a new pinch of the same hair mix used for the abdomen. I realise I thin cord and I wrap it along short section of the hook shank

 

Perla dorata 08
Next I whip finish the black thread just behind the first golden bead

 

Perla dorata 09
I push forwards the turkey feather strip, so it covers the upper part of the first golden bead, and I secure it with some turn of the black thread that I previously fixed to the front section of the hook

 

Perla dorata 10
I repeat the same operations described at steps six, seven and eight, so to realise the second pair of legs and the last section of the thorax

 

Perla dorata 11
I push forwards the turkey feather strip again, so it covers the upper part of the second golden bead, and I secure it just behind the hook eye: in this way a I complete the elytrums of the nymph

 

Perla dorata 12
Just behind the hook eye, I bind in two fibres from the yellow goose biot, placing in the same position of the previous pairs of legs

 

Perla dorata 13
I cut off the biots surplus and I wrap repetitively the black thread behind the hook eye, realising in this way the head, which then I whip finish and glue with a drop of clear varnish



The Perla Dorata is ready now for our next fishing expedition, useful for tempting a good fish that lie close to the bottom of a deep pool
