Description

This is a complete tying kit with all the materials required to tie 24 flies in this Hares Ear Nymph pattern. Plus, there will be lots left over, so additional hooks can be added at a later date to get even more flies from these materials.

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. But it can also be tied without the bead for a more delicate approach and a slower sink rate.
