When trout are tight-lipped and the current’s ripping, trust the Fulling Mill Croston’s Perdi Bomb to deliver explosive results. Designed by UK competition angler Howard Croston, this tactical nymph features a dense, slim profile that punches through fast water and gets to the feeding zone quicker than larger, bulkier flies.
Don’t let its size fool you—this compact fly is deceptively heavy, making it ideal for deep seams, turbulent pockets, and pressured fish. Whether you're running a Euro nymph rig or dropping it beneath a dry, the Perdi Bomb offers stealth, speed, and strike-inducing appeal when it matters most.
This is the kind of fly you tie on when you need to make your first cast count.
