john adams 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2010 You're right - steelhead colors. I did it for trout - May be the next nymph a'la stone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyderaght 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2010 I would try it on trout in lake. I have no doubt they would snap it up. Personally, I think purple in the water is closer to a true match for insects. not sure why, but put 2 of the same one black, the other purple and you'll see why. marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taylor B. Hess 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2010 Took a pattern I tied that was inspired by this pattern and hauled a few chunky browns out of the lake. Definitely proved its effectiveness I must say. Actually made my best day of fishing in a while. Maybe it was the rain, but I'm convinced it was this ingenious pattern!

Jimmie 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2010 What a great looking fly. This summer the shops in Bend were saying the hot fly was a purple nymph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
