Steeles' Purple Pyramid Wooly Bugger submitted by Elaine Cook
The club's fishout at Pyramid is coming right up. Go armed with this. "Very effective", says John. Needless to say, this bugger will work in most stillwaters for trout and even bass.

A correction and addition to last month's Fly of the Month, the Caddis Soft Green Hackle:
