Flies came today! Cool selection! Can't wait to get down to try them! Looks like black and purple is a popular color combination. I've used it for tarpon before but not for reds and trout. Our company redfish outing is in Steinhatchee at the end of April and now I have some "secret weapons"!

Black & Purple seem to work on everything from tarpon to largemouths. My favorite bass worm was always a tequila sunrise culprit.
