Purple Phase Loop Wing

Wiese’s Purple Phase, created by renowned Montana guide Walter Wiese, is a modern Dry or emerger pattern specifically designed to excel during Callibaetis hatches. This fly’s slim body and unique purple coloration set it apart, making it a favorite for targeting selective trout in stillwater settings. The Purple Phase’s semi-submerged posture perfectly imitates a vulnerable mayfly caught mid-emergence, a critical stage that trout key in on. Its foam underwing and parachute-style post enhance visibility for anglers while maintaining the lifelike profile trout expect. This pattern thrives not just during Callibaetis hatches but also as an attractor in challenging fishing conditions.

Subsurface Drift: Apply floatant exclusively to the wing post, allowing the body to ride just below the surface. This presentation mimics an emerging mayfly, enticing trout feeding on emergers.
