Description
The Purple Dart Jig is a highly effective Euro nymph pattern, designed to get down quickly in fast currents while presenting a lifelike profile. This fly imitates a wide range of mayfly and caddis larvae with its purple body adding a modern, high-contrast trigger. Originally designed by Devin Olsen, a well-known competitive angler and Euro-nymphing expert. Hook size 12-16
Pro Tip
Use it as the point fly on a tandem nymph rig and let a lighter, more natural pattern trail behind for wary fish.
