MP's Purple Crush (Spey)

I LOVE how this pattern looks. Still an affordable tie although I did use some less common feathers for this pattern (Reeves Pheasant Skin set me back $20, Silver Pheasant Skin $30). The combination of colors and patterns really came together in this experiment - arguably this fly may be more pleasing to the eye than the fish..we'll see!
