Purple Haze

Fly: Jim LaFevers, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Gamakatsu T10-6H #6
Head: Gold Tungsten Conehead
Thread: Black or Purple 3/0
Tail: Purple Marabou topped with a few strands of light purple Krystal flash
Body: Purple Chenille
Lateral line: Flat Blue Tinsel or Flashabou
Hackle: Purple Saddle (Palmered)

Note: A friend of mine requested this fly. A Purple wooly bugger with Blue lateral stripe. The blue tinsel or flashabou shows itself when sun is out and then calms down when cloudy. Nice subtle color changes when fished. Try different color combinations.
