I have experimented a great deal with purple and blue flies over the last few years.  Everyone knows it works but very few anglers experiment with the colors blue, purple and red.  I will tell you from experience that these colors can work exceptionally well when worked in to traditional patterns.  Fish can see these colors even at depths that other colors will no longer be seen.  The bottom line is, if they can see your fly presented in the way the fish want (assuming the fish don't know you are there) then the odds are they will have a taste.  Here are a few blue and purple flies I regularly use.
