Classic Hare’s Ear Nymph

Description

The Classic Hare’s Ear Nymph is a traditional fly pattern that imitates aquatic insect nymphs like mayflies and stoneflies. Its fuzzy, natural appearance comes from rabbit fur dubbing, mimicking the soft bodies of real insects. It is most effective in streams, rivers, and lakes during hatch seasons, fished with a slow drift beneath a strike indicator. Its versatility and realistic profile make it a popular choice for targeting trout and other freshwater fish year-round.
