Send as VFB eCard Beadhead Hare's Ear Nymph Tied by Lont Marr Head: 3/32" brass bead Thread: 8/0 brown Tail: Hare's ear guard hairs Abdomen: Hare's ear underfur Thorax: Hare's ear underfur and guard hairs, dubbed thick Wingcase: Mottled turkey quill section Hook: Mustad 3906 12-16 Rib: Oval gold tinsel Tying Instructions Tie as any hare's ear nymph - I prefer to secure the bead with dubbed thread wraps behind it before adding the dubbed body, and I reverse wrap the ribbing for added strength. Pick out some of the guard hairs from the thorax to give it that 'buggy' appearance and add some head cement to the wing case to add durability. Fishing Tips I fish this pattern dead drift and allow it to drag on the down swing to simulate an emerger. This is a relatively simple fly to tie, and it's been a top producer for me over the last year!
