Purple has been very effective color for us this season, on the surface and subsurface. The Purple Flashback Pheasant Tail Nymph is a great all around nymph imitation that can be used in sizes #12-18. We believe the Purple Pheasant Tail imitates small mayfly and stonefly nymphs, a constant in the drift of most rivers. Give it a shot!
