50 Shades Of Hare's Ear: #3 And #4

50 Shades Of Hare's Ear

#3  Adding ultraviolet to the hare's ear

Hook:  Hends BL554, Size 12
Weight;  To suit
Thread: UTC 70, brown
Tail:  Guard hair from the forehead of the hare's mask
Ribbing:  Lagartun,  gold, small oval
Body:  Natural hare's ear taken from the ear mixed with a small amount of Sybai's Fine Flash, Ultravoilet
Wingcase:  Pheasant tail fibers, Natural
Thorax:  Same as body.  Picked out.

Notes:

(1)  I find this variation more effective if the ultravoilet is used sparingly when tying.
(2)  Consider using this pattern on dark days or periods of low light.

#4  Adding highlights and color

Hook:  Hends 554, Size 12
Weight;  To Suit
Thread: UTC 70, Brown
Tail:  Guard hair from the fore head of the hare's mask, dyed brown
Ribbing:  Lagartun. gold, small oval
Body:  Dark, spikey hare's ear taken from the ear mixed with a small amount of Sybai's Fine Flash, Fiery Brown
Wingcase:  Ozark Oak mottled turkey tail
Thorax:  Same as body.  Picked out.

Notes:

(1)  The combination of dark, spikey hare's ear and fiery brown Fine Flash proves to be a great all around winner for March Brown , Western Green Drake and Baetis nymphs in my home waters of Northern California.
(2)  Do I dare mention a good pellet fly imitation?
