Description

Spiky hare's ear fur is the trigger on this effective bead head fly pattern.

Field Notes

A classic subsurface nymph pattern for trout fishing in rivers, streams, and stillwaters. Fish it dead-drift under an indicator, as part of a nymph rig, or as a dropper when insects are active near the bottom.

Pros

  • Effective general-purpose mayfly nymph imitation
  • Bead head helps it get down quickly
  • Versatile in many trout waters

Cons

  • Not a surface fly
  • Can be less effective if fish are keyed on a very specific hatch
