Purple and Starling, size 16
Classic spider style wet fly. Pearsall’s Gossamer silk body, mole fur dubbing, European starling hackle.
This pattern is particularly effective on my local tailwater river (Cumberland River, KY). Add some shot a foot or so above the fly, adjust the indicator for your desired depth. If nothing grabs it on the drift, let it swing around and strip it back in with short bursts.
