| Comments: |
The Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear
is a classic fly, and it has probably given birth to more variants than
any other. The addition of the coloured tail gives it that little
bit more attraction.
It is a useful fly to use when the fish are feeding on daphnia, during
a hatch to midges or olives, or in coloured water when the fly needs to
stand out and be seen.
It can also be used as a searching fly when nothing is showing.
It is best fished on the middle dropper.
Other useful variations can be tied with a Glo-Brite Yellow shade 10,
or a Glo-Brite Lime Green shade12 floss tail.
