Hare's Ear, Gold Ribbed Dry

The Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear Dry imitates a wide range of mayflies and even caddisflies in the adult stage. The buggy body and gold ribbing mimic segmentation and movement, while the dry fly hackle keeps it riding high during hatches.

History:
This dry version is a creative extension of the Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear nymph, one of the oldest and most versatile fly patterns. Though not as widespread as the nymph, it is still used by anglers seeking a generalist dry that covers multiple insect profiles with a natural buggy look.
