TF,

The Usk Naylor is a classic Usk river pattern - and is tied with that color silk. Purple has been used for a number of patterns over the years, most notably the Snipe and Purple. In steelhead patterns the Purple Peril comes to mind. Then there is a tarpon fly called the Purple People Eater...

Cheers,
