HOOK:
size 12 THREAD: Brown RIB: Gold wire TAIL: Pheasant tail. ABDOMEN: Hare's ear THORAX: Hare's ear WING:ADDITIONS. Some hares
ears sport Flashabou or epoxy wing
pads and bead heads.
The
Hare's ear is a general nymph pattern.
It would be hard to find a nymph
box anywhere in the world that didn't
have some version of the hares ear.
The original pattern is tied almost
entirely from the naturally mottled
and spikey hair found on the face
and between the ears of the European
hare.
1.
Wrap the shank with light lead wire from
the bend towards the eye, leaving enough
of a gap by the eye to tie off.
2.
Tie in a few fibre of hare's body fur to
form the tail. Tie in gold ribbing and dub
hare's ear fur on to the thread
3.
Wind the dubbed thread up the shank and
follow up with gold ribbing. (It is not
necessary to use hackle pliers.)
4. Form a head
with the tread and tie off. Pick out fur
to make the fly shaggier.
