Brassy Hare's Ear

A hybrid pattern that imitates mayfly nymphs, caddis larvae, and small stoneflies. The body combines hare’s ear dubbing and copper wire, adding both bugginess and segmentation.

History:
A fusion of the Gold-Ribbed Hare’s Ear and the Brassie, this pattern came into popularity in the late 20th century, especially among tailwater and spring creek anglers. It’s especially useful in clear water, where the shine helps draw attention while the hare’s ear adds realism.
