A proven, all-season nymph with a buggy look and a subtle flash trigger. The Hare’s Ear Flashback keeps the natural, spiky hare’s-mask body and copper rib of the classic while adding a reflective wing case that pops during the drift and lift—perfect for matching mayfly and caddis nymphs in varied water.
-

-
Ready to fish: Durable wraps and consistent proportions for repeatable, bottom-tracking drifts
How to fish it
Dead-drift under an indicator or tightline/Euro with steady contact; add a small split shot 8–12" above if you aren’t ticking bottom. Fish as the upper fly with a tiny midge or PT 12–18" below, and finish each drift with a gentle lift to flash the wing case like an ascending nymph. It also shines as a dropper beneath a buoyant dry.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing to prevent hook corrosion.
