Hi Norm, great site! I jump in every day! Long time fan here with a question about this fly....What differentiates this fly from the Purple Peril other than the wing material? Is this close enough be a Purple Peril variant? Again, love the site and the tying is spectacular!
it appears it could be a variation but i'm the wrong person to ask
