Field Notes

This is a beadhead Hare's Ear style nymph, best fished subsurface when trout are feeding on small natural foods like daphnia. It is a good choice in cloudy water or on rivers for grayling, and can be drifted under a fly line or indicator.

Pros

  • Effective imitation of small aquatic prey
  • Hot orange bead adds visibility in stained water
  • Good for trout and grayling

Cons

  • Not a surface fly
  • Can be less subtle in very clear water
