Fly Details
BH Flashback Hare's Ear
A true staple in fly fishing, the BH Flashback Hare's Ear is a time-tested nymph that catches fish in virtually any water, year-round. Its buggy, impressionistic profile imitates a wide range of aquatic insects - especially mayfly and caddis nymphs. The bead head helps it sink quickly, while the flashback adds just enough visibility to attract attention in deeper or off-colored water. A versatile, must-have fly for every angler's box.

Presentation
This pattern fishes well year-round in a Nymph Rig, especially when presented near the bottom. It can be used as either the lead or dropper fly, but is most often tied on as the larger lead fly to help get your rig down and attract attention in deeper runs.
Fished in tandem with a highly visible dry fly acting as an indicator, this setup allows the nymph to suspend higher in the water column - ideal for targeting trout feeding just below the surface on emerging insects or drifting nymphs. A deadly combination during hatch transitions or in shallow riffles.
