A nymph that should never be left behind, the Bead Head Hare's Ear is a fly that you can rely on to catch fish almost everywhere you go. Taking David Hemmings' famous Hares Ear Nym ph from the 1800s and adding a bead, this fly sinks well and effectively imitates most mayfly nymphs and even some caddis, stoneflies, and freshwater crustaceans.Combining a buggy body, turkey quill wingcase, bead head, and gold ribbing, this nymph is a great choice whether you're looking to imitate naturals or just need a searching fly that's backed by years of confidence. When fishing the Bead Head Hares Ear, a dead drift is most effective, but you can also slowly inch it along the bottom, especially in stillwater environments. Since the Bead Head Hares Ear does such a good job imitating a plethora of aquatic critters, you should carry this fly all year long in sizes ranging from 10-20, with 12-16 being the most popular range.Colors Available:NaturalSizes Available:10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 Show more
