Olive Spanish Bullet Perdigon – Fast-Sinking Tungsten Nymph

The Olive Spanish Bullet Perdigon is a fast-sinking tungsten nymph with a slim, resin-coated body designed for euro nymphing in heavy current. The olive body is the most versatile perdigon color — it suggests a wide range of natural nymphs and works in nearly every water condition. Spanish-style perdigons have dominated competitive fly fishing for over a decade, and this pattern is the reason why.

When to Fish It

Year-round in any water where you need to get deep fast. The tungsten bead and dense resin body cut through the water column with minimal resistance, reaching the bottom in water that swallows traditional nymphs. Fish it tight-line euro style for maximum sensitivity, or under a heavy indicator in deep runs. Focus on seams, bucket water, and the heads of pools. Sizes 14-18.
