Purple Haze

The Purple Haze is a popular dry fly used in fly fishing. It is known for its versatility and effectiveness in a variety of fishing situations, particularly in clear water conditions.

The Purple Haze dry fly typically features a purple body made of synthetic dubbing material, with a small amount of flashy material mixed in to imitate the natural sheen of an insect's body. The wings are made of deer hair or synthetic materials, and the fly often has a peacock herl or similar material for the thorax.

One of the key advantages of the Purple Haze dry fly is its high visibility, which makes it easy for anglers to track on the water's surface. The fly's purple colour is also attractive to fish, particularly in situations where other insects are not present or are less active.

When fishing with a Purple Haze dry fly, it is often effective to cast it to rising fish and twitch it slightly on the surface to imitate the natural movement of an insect. The fly can also be drifted along the surface of the water, with occasional twitches or pauses to entice a fish to strike.

Overall, the Purple Haze dry fly is a versatile and effective pattern that should be included in any fly angler's arsenal.
