ducksterman,
I have typed in the "search" window every combination I could think of to find this pattern for you and have not had any luck. I did look in one book I have, Woolly Wisdom, and under steelhead flies, the only fly pattern I found was called the Umpqua Dredger but it did not match your description. It was all purple, but, tied very much like a bugger with bead chain eyes. If you remember any other details of the fly you are looking for, post them here or PM me and I will gladly keep searching.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
