Notes:
(1)  The color purple possesses the longest wavelength making it an excellent choice any water condition or depth.
(2)  Ice blue Flashabou turns a very deep purple effect when wound around the black thread body.
(3)  Switching the black thread to white will change this pattern to a wonderful phantom midge imitation,
(4)  Tie them in sizes 10-16 for lakes and 16-20 for rivers and creeks
(5)  One of the first patterns I tie on in early morning!
