This fly performs well in both high and slack water. The purple color stands out and attracts fish when other patterns fail. I’ve used it in multiple streams and it consistently brings in action.

Great float and visibility. I cast it twice in a slack spot and saw fish take it immediately. Works well in varied conditions and is a reliable attractor.

Solid pattern with good float. A bit heavier than expected, but the tippet adjustment makes it work well. Purple is noticeable in clear water and draws fish in.
