Description

The humble Hares Ear nymph has been tied over and over with so many variations throughout the years because it is a fly pattern that works. Like the Tasmanian counterpart in the Claret Nymph, the Hares Ear nymph does the trick when mayflies are about, but still works as a general searching pattern too. The lighter, natural tones of the Hares Ear dubbing blend, combined with Elk Mane and copper give this a very realistic look int he water, especially when the dubbing iis brushed out to get the fibers out from the body, creating shape and movement.

This pattern is brilliant for lake fishing when there are mayflies about, or on the rivers as a single nymph or part of a tandem rig. The added mass of a tungsten bead gets this fly down in front of the fish fast without requiring it to be too bulky, keeping a more natural profile and not making too great of a splash as it hits the water’s surface.

Supplied in lots of six (6) flies per hook size.

Of course, if you want to tie this pattern yourself, Troutlore offers a complete materials kit for this pattern. You can find the ‘TieYourOwn’ kit for Hares Ear Nymph here.

All flies sold at Troutlore are tied by hand in Australia by Rob from Troutlore, or designated tyers for specific patterns who are noted in the descriptions. This Hares Ear Nymph pattern is tied on quality Ahrex hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box for all times of the the stream and lake season.
