Purple Peril - a Ken McLeod pattern:
Tag: Flat Silver Tinsel
Tail: Purple hackle fibers
Rib: Silver tinsel
Body: Purple floss, yarn, chenille or dubbing
Hackle: Purple
Wing: Brown deer hair
Tie it sparse on a Mustad 36890 or equivalent. I like sizes 6 or 8. If you
don't tie, send me your address and I will donate a couple.
There is a picture on page 80 of "Advanced Fly Fishing For Steelhead" by
Deke Meyer.

That is what fishing is all about. Very well put, Leland.
By the way, the Purple Peril was the number one fly listed by many people.
I will have to look that one up.
