Almost all of the flies on this blog mimic an actual fly in nature in appearance and movement at various stages in their lives. For example, a nymph represents a real fly in its early stages of life.
This Hare's Ear was one of the flies I had to tie for this blog.
The Hare's Ear is the most popular pattern in the fly fishing world. It can be fished anywhere, anytime and you will have a reasonable chance of hooking a trout. The success of the Hare's Ear is due to its good general imitation of mayfly nymphs. The colors can be tailored to match the natural mayfly nymphs where you fish.
With respect to technique, the Hare's Ear is identical to the Filoplume Mayfly, except it is tied with a dubbed body and different materials. When you use different patterns, you will get different mayfly imitations and techniques.
