Question about item

The Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear or just HE is also an absolute classic among trout flies. This nymph imitates a broad spectrum of mayfly larvae but as well larvae of caddis flies and scuds, which is why this pattern is so deadly and popular with fly fishermen worldwide. This fly pattern has its name hare's ear nymph because it is mainly tied with hair from the face mask of the hare.

Andy Pfirstinger's version of the Hares Ear nymph sticks very closely to the proven original with a gold wire rib, but his HE nymphs are tied on a sharp, strong and slightly set, wide gap hook from Daiichi with an upturned eye. This hook has best hooking properties, especially in the smaller sizes, and does not bend easily. In addition, his nymphs are meticulously tied in all matters such as proportions and accuracy and they are finished with a whip finish what makes them extremely durable.

The A.P.'s Hare's Ear is only slightly weighted and tied without a bead which is why this nymph comes closest to the silhouette of the natural and due to its low weight it drifts most naturally in the water. This means that it can also be fished close to the surface and it is also ideally suited for crystal-clear spring creeks. To depth this nymph can be brought with split shots or a tandem nymph rig.

In order to adapt to the current situation on the water the AP HE is available in two finishes 'Classic' and 'Flashback'. Ultra-clear water suggests to use the inconspicuous Classic version. But when the water is merky or a bit of color, Andy is rather using the flashback version. Because the wing case upon the thorax of the flashback variant is tied with golden Angel hair it sends out seductive light reflections what can be a decisive factor experienced nymph fishermen know about.

A.P.'s Hare's Ear available in 2 finishes: Classic, Flashback and 5 sizes: #10, #12, #14, #16, #18
