The Purple Mayfly is a vibrant and reliable dry fly pattern designed to imitate adult mayflies during key hatch periods. With its segmented purple body, upright wings, and delicate tail fibers, this fly mimics the silhouette and drift of natural mayfly duns on the surface—while the rich coloration adds extra visibility and attractor appeal. This pattern is a great choice when fishing clear water or pressured streams where fish have seen more common color variations.
The Purple Mayfly performs best during hatch-matching situations in spring, summer, and early fall, especially when trout are feeding selectively on top. Its durable build and lifelike movement make it a dependable choice for stillwater and slow- to medium-current rivers.
Best for:
- Mayfly hatches in clear water
- Dry fly presentations on rivers and lakes
- Selective trout feeding on small-profile dries
📌 Pro Tip: When fish are refusing standard tan or gray mayfly patterns, switch to the Purple Mayfly—it offers just enough contrast to draw attention without spooking wary trout.
