Dick Stewart and Farrow Allen, in their book, Flies for Steelhead, attribute P.M Brassie to Peter Micol, who tied it as a variation of the popular trout fly-"Brassie" for Pere Marquette steelhead. It is meant to be a caddis pupa immitation. Stewart and Allen note that during the 1930s and 40s, a series of steelhead flies with brass and copper wire bodies was developed by Peter Schwabb of Yreka, California.
