Hare's Ear and Hare's Ear Flashback 

Perhaps the most recognized, fished, and proven nymph ever tied. The Hare's Ear nymph often called by its initials GRHE is a very old pattern and has certainly been around for over two centuries.  it is attributed to the Victorian tyer James Ogden. Traditionally, to give it it's bug like appearance, the pattern used fur from a hare's ear, mingling the longer guard hairs with the lighter colored under fur and dubbing for a body. Rabbit fur is easier to obtain and now more widely used. The mayfly nymph can be imitated quite well with a large gold ribbed Hare's ear. It can be fished either weighted or un-weighted. If greased, it floats and provides an excellent imitation of large, hatching mayflies and caddis fly pupae. The most common method of fishing this popular fly is on a dead drift. The nymph is cast upstream and allowed to drift with the current. This is a most effective short-range technique and takes are usually seen as a splash at the surface. The  Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear has proven it's effectiveness in lakes. The hare’s ear nymph will attract fish even when there is no hatch on. The Hare's ear is a nymph that imitates almost any natural nymph. I would suggest you try it in runs and riffles, or fish it in still waters.

Stripping this nymph back toward you on a lake or pond can get trout on the rod. It is a must for every fly box.  The Bead Headed varieties are brilliant.  We find stripping these hits fish regularly. The gold bead head attracts the trout with the Hare's Ear as the main "bait". A deadly fly for the fly fisherman.
