PURPLE LIGHTNING BUGS!
Here is a few purple lightning bugs that I tied up today. I love to use this pattern for early spring and late fall. This is a great pattern for Blue Wing Olives (BWO) when they start popping. My wife today used that term “popping” when she asked: When do the BWO start popping? I though is was pretty cool and I felt proud of how far my wife has come in the fly fishing world! Tie a few of these bad boys up for this spring.
