Purple Haze Mayfly

The Purple Haze Mayfly is a modern Western classic that has earned a permanent place in fly boxes across the country. Its subtle purple body offers a highly visible silhouette that often outperforms traditional grey and olive patterns, especially during BWO and PMD hatches. It also excels as a searching pattern when trout are feeding on the surface but keying in on a variety of insects. 

At HatchLab, our version features a durable poly yarn wing in place of a traditional Hen Tip Wing. The poly wing improves visibility for the angler while standing up to repeated fish, making it a dependable fly that lasts longer on the water. Combined with a slender dubbed body, quality hackle, and balanced proportions, it rides naturally in the surface film with an excellent Mayfly Dun profile. 

Every Fly from HatchLab FlyWorks is tied using carefully selected premium materials and individually inspected for Consistency, Durability, and Performance on the water.

Lab Crafted. River Tested.
