Flashback Hare’s Ear-Beadhead
A great improvement on this all-time classic pattern.
Many nymphs take on a very shiny appearance right before emerging. Trout key in on this vulnerable time in a nymph’s life.
Extra flash and beadhead also work great early season and when water is off color. Beadheads have shown time and again to catch fish when nothing else will.

Eric Morgan –
Used this during a cold spring when the water was murky. The flash and beadhead made a big difference. Trout were actively feeding and took the pattern consistently. A reliable choice for early season.
Thomas Jones –
This pattern worked better than any other I’ve tried in low-visibility conditions. The shine just draws in the fish when they’re looking for movement.
Katherine Davies –
Good for early season fishing. Took a few bites but not every cast. Still better than standard nymphs in cloudy water.
Alexander Jackson –
Fished it in a slow-moving stream with poor light. The beadhead caught fish that wouldn’t take anything else. Highly recommended for off-color water.
