Fish it when you might try a traditional Hare’s Ear. This one is skinnier and heavier. Much like a Hare’s Ear, it is sure to be a bread n butter fly for many a trout angler.

This fly has become my go-to for trout in clear streams. The tungsten gives it a solid feel and it sinks well without tiring. I’ve caught several fish with it, especially in the early morning when the water is calm.
Lily Alsop –
Works well in both still and current. A bit heavier than I expected, but it holds up well in the water and doesn’t break easily. Great for when I need something simple and effective.
