In 1972, 12-year-old Chris Furia of Colorado created the Pistol Pete, a pattern that has garnered significant popularity since its creation. This design agitates the water and creates a spinner-like action, attracting fish in dark waters and triggering strikes. Here I draw inspiration from both the wooly bugger and Mickey Finn fly patterns, the Pistol Pete has become a staple in many anglers' arsenals.

However, a debate persists over whether the Pistol Pete qualifies as a fly pattern or a lure. Traditionalists argue that the inclusion of a spinner categorizes it as a lure, thus disqualifying it from “pure” fly fishing practices. What are your thoughts on this?

Regardless of its classification, one cannot deny the effectiveness of the Pistol Pete—it's a deadly pattern that can help you catch more fish!
