Sparkling Purple Haze Dry Fly

$1.49
Size
The Sparkling Purple Haze Dry Fly is a modern, high-attraction variation of the popular Purple Haze pattern. It takes the proven "buggy" silhouette and adds subtle flash and sparkle to the body, making it even more effective at catching the eye of opportunistic trout. This fly maintains the general-purpose mayfly profile while the added sparkle mimics the trapped air bubbles of an emerging insect or the natural sheen of an adult's body, triggering aggressive strikes from trout in a wide range of water conditions.

Product Features
  • Added Flash & Attractor: Incorporates subtle sparkling material (often Krystal Flash or similar) in the body to add a natural sheen that catches the light and draws fish in.
  • Versatile Imitation: The general purple/gray profile allows the fly to imitate a wide range of mayflies and caddis, making it a reliable choice during mixed hatches.
  • High Visibility Post: The bright white parachute post provides excellent angler visibility, even in low light conditions or fast water.
  • Reliable Float: Tied in the parachute style, it sits perfectly in the surface film for a realistic presentation.
  • Barbed Hook: Tied on a premium, sharp barbed hook for confident and secure hook-ups.
  • Optimal Sizing: Available in a wide range of sizes #10, #12, #14, #16, and #18, covering ideal sizes for matching various medium-to-large insects.

When to Use the Sparkling Purple Haze Dry Fly
The Sparkling Purple Haze is an excellent choice for any situation where a standard dry fly isn't getting attention, or when prospecting for active fish.
  • Searching Pattern: The added sparkle makes it an exceptional choice for "prospecting" for fish, as they can't seem to resist its flashy appearance.
  • Off-Hatch Times: Use it when no specific hatch is occurring, but you want a highly visible, attractive fly on the water.
  • Cloudy Days & Low Light: The sparkle and high-vis post work well on overcast days or in the fading light of evening, when added flash can make all the difference.
  • Mixed Hatches: A great fly to use during complex hatches where a general, attractive pattern is needed to fool selective trout.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.

NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
