Flashback Hare’s Ear – Tungsten
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.
Now with a tungsten bead to sink this pattern even faster.

Kevin Reid –
This fly performs well in early spring when the water is murky. The tungsten bead sinks quickly and the flash draws attention from trout. I’ve caught several fish with it in slow currents.
Sam Simpson –
A solid upgrade from the original hare’s ear. The shine and sink rate are noticeable. Works well in stained water and during low-light conditions.
Edward Wright –
Used it during a cold front and saw good action. The flash mimics a nymph’s emergence, and fish were quick to take it.
