#42 Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear Filoplume Prince (Guide Version)
Notes:
(1) I am revisiting the GRHEFP. Pictured is my guide version (less hackle collar or beard) which speeds up the tying process.
(2) This is a phenomenal pocket water/riffle fly where stoneflies reside. The filoplume offers a ton of movement in the water.
(2) Try different colors of wing biots. Fl. Orange is my "go to" for the higher flows of winter and spring as well as dirty water. Chartreuse is a great option, too! White is the old summer standby color. However, there are times when I desire little more color in the water.
(3) I also tie the flashback in peacock mylar and normal pearl.
(4) Weight to suit, but ensure you're in the rocks!
(5) I have older step by step tying instructions HERE
