That's the whole trick. Against a bright sky a trout sees the fly in silhouette, and the dark purple body throws a strong, buggy outline that reads as a generic mayfly without copying any one insect - which is why it produces when nothing on the water matches. The white parachute post sits the fly flush in the surface film and keeps it visible to you in glare and broken water.",[13,17,18],{},"Tie it on in sizes 12-18: bigger when you want it seen on faster water, smaller for finicky spring-creek feeding.
