Try swinging it in the spring, dead drifting it for steelhead or fish it in still water for cutts, rainbows and dolly varden.

    The Purple Fish Taco is one of our favorites for steelhead and kings. It is tied with a bit of pink on the rear of the shank that imparts a nice subtle pop of color. 

    Due to its light weight and slender profile this is a great fly in small or medium sized rivers. The ostrich and flash come alive in the water and it doesn't hang up at the end of the swing. If you are fishing the Sandy River or other Alaska Peninsula king rivers, the Fish Taco should be in your box.

At 4 inches in length it is a big bite. The long flowing black leech with lead eyes and a flame head would be enough to attract steelhead, coho and big bows, but add in a skirt of  hot pink silicone legs and it is almost too much!
