The perpetrator is developed initially for Steelhead in the PNW. Since then, this uber buggy fly has been adapted for trout, either nymphing or with trout Spey. The smaller profile and lightweight make for good use with small rods and get big fish to perpetrate. With many color options, this fly is very adaptable for various situations, either on the swing or nymphing.
