The Perpetrator

Hedging your bets when angling for Steelhead is a good way to keep sharp and up your chances of actually hooking a fish. By that I mean, when swinging flies for small numbers of Steelhead, it's good to swing something that might appeal to the more plentiful larger resident Trout. In the fall on the Deschutes, Matt's Perpetrator would be a solid choice.

Developed for the Steelhead streams of Southern Oregon and Northern California, the Perpetrator has found favor all across the Great Northwest.
