50 Shades Of Hare's Ear: #21

50 Shades Of Hare's Ear


#21  Oversized dubbing brush or loop - impressionistic stonefly imitation


Hook:  TMC 200R, sizes 6-12 (Size 8 pictured.)
Weight:  Tungsten sheeting cut into a strip and wrapped around the shank.  Thorax area is doubled.
Bead:  (Optional)
Thread: UTC 70, brown
Tail:  Pheasant tail natural
Body:  DMC embroidery floss (#E301) and Hends 0.1MM gold wired double.  Add a small amount of hare's ear between the strands.  Everything is twisted together .
Wingcase:  Ozark Oak mottled turkey
Thorax:   Natural hare's ear taken from the ear.

Notes:

(1)  Twist the body materials counterclockwise.  This ensure each wrap lays snug against the previous one.
(2)  A very unique pattern that is quick to tie.  Fishes well in areas of brown and golden stones.
(3)  Black body and hare's ear is also effective.
(4)  I have caught several steelhead on this pattern in the Northwest.   Great Lakes angler should give it go!
