Last Chance Purple Haze

[@duderoony]

Not only is this a great pattern but, and I don’t know why I haven’t said so before, your videos are such great quality. We can see all the detail we need to follow along. Thanks Tim. It’s appreciated by all of us I’m sure.

[@tightlinevideo]

Thanks Dude. You abide.

[@duderoony]

That’s so curious that you used those words Tim. I use a coaster that is a picture of my hero Jeff Bridges (Dude from the film The Big Lebowsky) with the words “The Dude Abides” on it. 😊

[@stevebest4867]

Thanks for another great video!

[@noize93]

Thanks!! Your vids are the best. In fact I was watching your baetis emerger video today!!

[@joshuag.9341]

Awesome man. Ive been using spinner reels but ive been getting more n more interested in fly fishing

[@Scarbis93]

Did you ever start fly fishing?

[@mervyngreen257]

Nice we have a purple tussic battle inTasmania which hatches in November your pattern will be a killer thanks.

[@MrFreshApplesauce]

The one dislike is from a bait fisherman

[@jacobhelder2404]

Why rabbit dubbing? Better options for a fly that’s supposed to float. Any particular reason?

[@tightlinevideo]

Great question. Although rabbit fur isn't the floatiest dubbing, it takes both dry and wet floatants extremely well, actually kind of absorbs them. With the floatant absorbed or trapped between the fibers, the fly floats just great. In other words, if you know you're going to end up using floatant anyhow, why not use a dubbing that works well with it.

Superb tie

[@SavageFlies]

Trout don't follow Instagram? Oh well, most of them don't follow my flies either.

[@jasrobsny]

sing it!

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

The flies that look like they are in a little trouble trigger that predator instinct in the fish. this one will do that for sure. (Trout don't eat really pretty flies.) Rock on, my friend!

[@brs3932]

What model is your small brass stacker?

[@BillSaltbush]

Good effort. A bit like Egan's 'warrior', in that one would wonder how it works. We know the 'warrior' does, but what about this one? C'mon Tim, let me have it. 😃

[@jasrobsny]

I was told purple dulls out more to match naturals under water which is why it apparently works for nymphs but no one can seem to explain why it works on dry flies.

[@jamesvatter5729]

I'd like to know what it is about purple flies...they just work...and not just for steelhead (as I was once told) I have no idea why!

[@coreystoner4129]

Great video bud. I have used purple flies before as a switch up and they catch fish. Then again I’m running purple perdigons as a switch up and once coated with up resin it almost looks black

[@SavageFlies]

I love a dark purple perdigon, with a red hotspot or a little white in it. It's done great for me!

[@callumclark3358]

What's a switch up?

[@coreystoner4129]

Callum Clark a switch up is trying something completely different that they have never seen before or in a different color combo

[@coreystoner4129]

Savage Flies now you got me thinking. Purple thread and a white thread rib then a red hotspot.

[@liamgiardino]

Trout dont follow your Instagram. HAHA

[@johnnylightning1491]

What? Trout don't follow Instagram? What do they follow Twitter, Tik Tok? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@voidsteam3027]

IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE

[@MrRollingstone2518]

Thank goodness they don't follow IG!

[@davidharmony5308]

Looks like a copy of the one I created a few years back.

[@tightlinevideo]

Ok. But I can assure you that I did not copy anything from you.

[@davidharmony5308]

@@tightlinevideo excuse me, I forgot this is a sensitive world now lol it would be a "variant"

[@davidharmony5308]

Nevertheless purple catches fish...

[@tightlinevideo]

@@davidharmony5308 You are the one that said "a copy of the one you created" as if I had somehow taken credit for something you had done. Now that's what I call being sensitive. How am I supposed to know what you have and haven't created or maybe just thought of while sitting at your tying table. Am I missing something? Did you post a picture of it somewhere? Publish an article? Produce a video? Tie it professionally? What is that would let me know that you are not just another internet troll trying to make yourself look better by basically crapping on someone else's hard work. Also, I never, here or anywhere else took credit for developing this pattern because I'm guessing about a gazillion people have tied it before.
