Description
The Hare Bomb is a modern evolution of the classic hare’s ear nymph, designed to meet the demands of Euro-nymphing and tight-line techniques. Originating from competitive anglers who needed a natural-looking attractor with a fast sink rate, the pattern pairs traditional hare’s ear dubbing with a oversized tungsten bead to drive it quickly into the strike zone.
Pro Tip
Use the Hare Bomb as your point fly in fast water—the oversized bead pulls your entire rig into the strike zone quicker, letting lighter droppers ride naturally above it for more consistent takes.
