Olive Spanish Bullet Perdigon

Cheech - September, 2023

Euro nymphing, as we know, is a very very effective way to catch fish AND hurt feelings at the same time. Let's bridge that gap by showing you a fly that works equally well as a Euro Nymph, and as a dropper... Yes. If you are fishing this fly under a hopper, you are Euro Nymphing! See, it's fun! This olive version of the Spanish Bullet from Fulling Mill is one of the very best Euro Nymphs to run as a dropper and I'd have multiple sizes and different bead sizes as well.
