Hare's Ear Soft Hackle

The Hare's Ear Soft Hackle is a versatile wet fly pattern designed to imitate a wide range of aquatic insects, including mayfly nymphs, caddis pupae, and emerging insects. This variation of the classic Hare’s Ear nymph adds soft hackle, providing lifelike movement that mimics an insect struggling in the water column. The buggy texture and subtle flash of the hare’s ear dubbing make it particularly effective in both rivers and stillwaters. It’s an excellent choice for fishing subsurface during hatches or as a general attractor pattern. Hook size 12-18

Fish the Hare's Ear Soft Hackle on a dead drift, allowing it to sink and swing at the end of the drift to imitate an emerging insect.
