The Tungsten Hare’s Ear is one of the most iconic and productive nymphs in fly fishing—trusted by beginners and veteran anglers alike. With its natural, buggy profile and a tungsten bead to get it down fast, this fly is the very definition of a prospecting pattern. It doesn’t imitate one specific insect—it suggests dozens. Mayflies, caddis, stoneflies, scuds—you name it, the fish will see it. What makes it even better? The more you fish it, the buggier it gets. Frayed dubbing and roughed-up fibers only enhance the fly’s movement and realism in the water.
