"Pixie" was tied by Contributing Fly Tyer, John Glaspy. You can see more of his flies for Pacific Salmon at The Flies of John Glaspy. See his notes about this fly below.

John's Notes: I have a few favorite "fishing flies" for Alaskan salmon, flies that are effective but relatively cheap and easy to tie, so I can carry a lot of them on extended trips. If I had to pick one of these flies as the best and most consistent producer of these fish it would be the Pixie. This fly was first shown to me by Bruce Knowles of Wasilla, Alaska. It is simply a Battle Creek with a different color scheme, but I have been amazed at its effectiveness. For me, it has out-produced all other Pacific Salmon streamers. It also usually works well in clear and stained water and on overcast and sunny days.
