Crafted in the heart of competition and refined on one of Europe's most technical rivers, the Fulling Mill Olsen’s Pliva Perdigon is a high-performance nymph with a winning pedigree. Developed by Devin Olsen during the 2015 World Fly Fishing Championships—where he earned an individual bronze and Team USA took silver—this fly was born to deliver results under pressure.
Inspired by the crystal-clear waters of Bosnia’s Pliva River, this olive-bodied perdigon features subtle fluorescent accents that provide just the right amount of attraction without overdoing it. Resin-coated for durability and ultra-fast sink, the Pliva Perdigon slices through current to reach the strike zone fast—making it a perfect tool for Euro nymphing, dropper rigs, or tight-line presentations.
From international podiums to your local tailwater, this fly wins where it counts.
