The Bead Head Hare’s Ear Nymph is a weighted version of the classic general imitation nymph likely developed in 20th century England. The movement of the buggy hare’s mask dubbing combined with the shine of the gold wire ribbing tantalizes fish like few other flies. The brass bead head gets the fly into the strike zone while the barbless hook makes hook removal easy. $2.95
