Faded Baetis EURO Jig! Simple, Heavy, and EFFECTIVE! | Fly Tying Tutorial

In this Fly Tying Tutorial Cade Moore ties the Faded Baetis!
The Faded Baetis has been one of my longest tested flies and has been a staple in my box for a very long time. In our picky tailwaters I wanted a simple Baetis imitation that had a little bit of flash to entice a take but not shiny to spook em off. Enter the thread blend, by flattening the thread you are able to have the tinsel body slightly shine through the thread giving this a great appearance and that just right amount of shine. This is my most productive color combo but I have tested other colors with this technique and they have worked amazingly well! Like the Baetis Max I love fishing this under a dry in a dry dropper rig in smaller sizes but it will also fish great in a variety of other techniques. Spin a few of these up and I'm sure you will always want to have a few of these in your box

Irredesant copper would also look good on it. Awesome video Cade. You got my brain working on patterns I could tie this way

This would be super cool with a solid pink or purple perdigon body underneath as well🤔

In the case of perdigon Fly...
What do the black dot mean?
Do most perdigon flies have black dot?

Please tell me what it means.
thank you

Euro flies. CDC tail, thread, a bead, some sort of whatever color tinsel/flash/etc, resin = new fly pattern.

You didn't tie the Insta-Jig bead on correctly. It needs to be locked in . To me that looks like a short shank nymph hook, not a true jig hook to begin with.
