Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph

Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph

The origins of this nymph are way back into the 1800’s and it is a killer whenever olives hatch. Perhaps the most recognized, fished, and proven nymph ever tied. The hare’s ear nymph will attract fish even when there is no hatch on. The Hare’s ear is a nymph that imitates any natural nymph. I would suggest you try it in runs and riffles, or fish it in still waters.

Stripping or a slow retrieve with this nymph back on a lake or pond can get trout on the bank. It is a must for every fly box. Bead Headed varieties are brilliant fly patterns. Stripping these or slow retrieves are very productive with the Gold Ribbed Hares Ear. The gold bead head attracts the trout with the Hare’s Ear as the main “bait”. A deadly fly for the fly fisherman.
