Variation on a Classic Fly


The Classic Golden Ribbed Hare's Ear fly pattern does not have a bead and does not use any flash. The addition of a tungsten bead, with the lead or non-lead wire make this fly sink faster. I tend to use the tungsten bead in both my classic pattern and flashback pattern. I have been using the non-lead wire in my flies for a couple of years and find that it is easy to use and works just the same. I like to have the Flashback Golden Ribbed Hare's Ear for those places that I fish that don't have highly educated, picky fish. Here are the ingredients.


Gold Tungsten Bead

Nymph Hook 2X (10-14)

Body – Hare’s Ear Dubbing, natural

Gold Wire (Medium)

Tail and Wing Case – Pheasant’s Tail

Wing Case can be Thin Skin

Pearl Flashaboo

Lead or non-lead wire

If not using Thin Skin, then thin layer of UV Resin
