Red Tipped Hares Ear Silly Leg

Red Tipped Hare's Ear Silly Leg — A Modern Take on a Classic

The Hare's Ear is one of fly fishing's most trusted nymph patterns — and this version takes it to the next level. A tungsten bead gets it into the strike zone fast, rubber silly legs pulse and flutter with every micro-current, and a red-tipped hot spot acts as a trigger point that draws strikes from trout that might otherwise pass on a standard pattern. The shaggy hare's ear dubbing traps air bubbles and mimics the translucency of emerging mayfly and caddis nymphs with uncanny realism.
