Bugmeister

This month we are featuring the Bugmeister which was created by John Perry, a fly fishing guide from Montana.  This fly has turned out to be one of the most effective attractors on the water by many accounts.  I was asked to tie some for a customer and decided to tie some for the shop while I was at it.  I can’t wait to try it out this summer.
