{"product_id":"hares-ear","title":"Hares Ear","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hare’s ear nymph is arguably the most popular pattern in all of fly fishing. When in doubt fish a Hare’s Ear, sometimes called a gold ribbed hares ear. This buggy pattern looks close enough to any kind nymph so it’s a great choice for both Trout and Steelhead.

Some of the beads on a hare's ear fly will be brass. Tying it with a tungsten bead is not uncommon either as it will get down to the bottom of the river much faster than with a brass bead. It is very common to find a full weight range of the hare's ear nymph in a well versed anglers fly box. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- 2 Blocks --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theflystop.com\/beadhead-hares-ear\/\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"\" title=\"beadhead hares ear\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theflystop.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/32b930e20bfef0c9badd7ee253a86131\/b\/e\/beadhead-hares-ear-fly-fishing-flies-nymphs_1.jpg\" alt=\"beadhead hares ear\" width=\"295\" height=\"389\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theflystop.com\/beadhead-tungsten-hares-ear\/\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"\" title=\"tungsten hare's ear nymph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theflystop.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/32b930e20bfef0c9badd7ee253a86131\/b\/e\/beadhead-hares-ear-fly-fishing-flies-nymphs_12.jpg\" alt=\"tungsten hare's ear nymph\" width=\"295\" height=\"389\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most effective ways to cover water columns in the river or in still water is to use a dry dropper set up. This means that you have a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theflystop.com\/fly-fishing-flies-discount\/dry-flies\"\u003edry fly\u003c\/a\u003e rigged first as your “top” fly and add a length of tippet, most commonly from the hook bend of the dry fly, and trail a “dropper’ fly behind underneath the surface of the water. A common combination would be to have an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theflystop.com\/elk-hair-caddis\"\u003eelk hair caddis\u003c\/a\u003e as a top fly and a hare's ear nymph as a dropper. The elk hair caddis stimulates the fish to want to eat. The fish will see that first and most of the time it will rise to take a second look. If the fish refuses your top fly, the gold ribbed hares ear dropper fly will be close behind to give the angler another option to stimulate an eat. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe hare's ear fly in this rigging is most times as small and realistic as you can get away with while your top fly is sized to make sure it can float your hare’s ear nymph without getting dragged down. The dry fly on top is often fished in a large size to be easily visible. Using a high floatation top fly gives the angler one of the best chances of keeping eye contact with the rig in faster waters which is important because it is acting as your indicator for your dropper fly as well. If the fish eats the hare’s ear, your top fly will stop or go underwater. The extra buoyancy on top is good because it gives the angler a wider range of weight options to choose from for the hare’s ear fly. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo get it down if the water is flowing fast, you will need a heavier hares ear pattern and most likely a larger attractor dry fly on top. While if it’s a slower stream, you are able to get away with a lightweight hare's ear nymph pattern and smaller fly on top, or even a totally unweighted Hares ear. Some prefer it unweighted because they believe that it gives the hare's ear the most realistic action.
