Hare's Ear Nymph Gold Ribbed

One of the most versatile patterns, it imitates a wide variety of mayfly nymphs, caddis larvae, and scuds. The spiky hare’s ear dubbing mimics movement and texture well.

History:
This classic English pattern dates back to the 1800s and is a staple in both wet and dry fly boxes. The gold ribbing enhances segmentation. The non-beadhead version is ideal for shallow riffles, technical tailwaters, and slow water, where too much weight can spook fish.
