Hare's Ear Wire Nymph #10 Hook

Details

High-Contrast Generalist

If you could only fish one nymph for the rest of your life, this would be it. The Black Back Rabbit Ear Nymph takes the legendary "Hare's Ear" profile and adds a dark wing pad for increased contrast, making it a "must-have" for technical tailwaters and freestone rivers alike.

Why It Works:

• Ultimate Imitator: The shaggy rabbit fur dubbing perfectly mimics the legs and gills of a wide variety of aquatic life, including Mayfly nymphs, Caddis larvae, and even small Scuds or Stoneflies.

• The "Black Back" Advantage: The dark wing pad provides a distinct silhouette that stands out in clear water or under bright skies, giving trout a clear target to strike.

• Flash & Segment: Hand-wound gold wire ribbing not only adds a touch of "attractor" flash but also creates the segmented look of a natural insect abdomen while protecting the delicate fur body.

• All-Season Reliability: Whether you’re fishing a mid-winter midge hatch or a heavy spring runoff, this nymph produces year-round in both fresh and saltwater environments.

Tech Specs:

• Size: #10 (Ideal for larger nymphs and faster water)

• Materials: Premium Rabbit Ear dubbing, gold wire ribbing, and a high-contrast black wing pad.

• Target Species: Trout, Grayling, Panfish, and Steelhead.

Pro Tip: This fly is incredibly effective when fished as the "lead" fly in a two-nymph rig or dropped 18-24 inches behind a buoyant dry fly (Dry-Dropper).

Available in packs of 5, 10, 20, or 30—stock up your basecamp before the next hatch!
