Olsen's Pliva Shuttlecock

The 2015 World Fly Fishing Championships was a special competition for me and Fly Fishing Team USA. That year we won a team silver medal, and I won the bronze individual medal.Interestingly, I caught nearly half of my fish on the rivers that year with dry flies. The dry fly that was responsible for the most fish was a shuttlecock style pattern I came up with during practice when we stayed on the Pliva River. This shuttlecock has become a  go to of mine for finicky rising fish the world over.
