50 Shades Of Hare's Ear
Hook: Hends BL554, sizes 10-16 (Size 12 pictured)
Weight; Tungsten sheeting cut into a strip and wrapped forward. Thorax area is doubled.
Bead: Optional
Bead: Optional
Thread: UTC 70, brown
Tail: Partridge, brown
Body/Ribbing: The body and ribbing is form via a dubbing brush (shown below). For hook sizes 10 and 12 UTC Ultra Wire (gold) small is perfect. Size 14 and 16 use UTC Ultra Wire in extra small.
Wingcase: Pheasant tail, natural
Notes:
(1) Very buggy and super effective! The dubbing brush ensures a spiky effect. Might be most effective hare's ear for me!
(2) The gold ribbing should be barely visible. This will take a little practice when producing brushes (as shown below on the finished fly and dubbing brush). If you have too much some discreet plucking will suffice.
(3) The brush is tied in on the far side of the hook shank and brought forward to the 60/65 percent mark. The wingcase is then tied in. Continue with dubbing brush until reaching approximately two eye lengths behind eye and secure. Apply a little dubbing to complete and hide securing thread wraps of the wire. then bring wingcase over the thorax and secure. Pluck the longer individual hairs.
(4) Definitely try various color combination. Black hare's ear and a red or orange core is productive (rivers and streams) as well as olive hare's ear and a pink core for lakes
