Beadhead Flashback Hare's Ear
If we could only fish two nymph patterns for the rest of our days on the water, one would be a Flashback Hare's Ear, and the second would be the Flashback Pheasant Tail. This generalist nymph pattern is close enough in profile and color to a host of invertebrate species that - when fished in a number of sizes - can be used to effectively imitate almost any mayfly or stonefly nymph.
Our Hare's Ear nymphs are tied with a bead head to help them sink into the zone where fish like to hold, and have flashbacks to help seduce the strike from reluctant fish.
