| Description |
The Purple and Grouse trout fly is a traditional
pattern that originated from the north of England. It is one of many
in the "grouse" patterns but the purple and grouse has shown
to be particularly effective in New Zealand waters. It represents
an insect that is just about to emerge from the nymph stage and hatch
as a winged insect. It is fished most commonly as a wet fly but there
is also a dry fly version. |
