The Hare’s Ear Nymph fly is a classic pattern that imitates a variety of aquatic life, including scuds, sow bugs, mayfly nymphs, and caddis larvae.

Read more about fishing with this fly and the history of how this pattern came to be in Ye Olde Gold-Ribbed Hare’s Ear Nymph and you’ll quickly see why the Hare’s Ear Nymph has become one of my favorite steelhead flies.
