Hares Ear BeadHead - Black

Hares Ear BeadHead – Black

The Black Bead Head Hare's Ear is a darker, high-contrast variation of one of the most proven nymphs in fly fishing. The natural hare's ear dubbing retains its legendary buggy texture and movement, while the black colorway gives the fly a bold silhouette that stands out in off-color water, low-light conditions, and deep runs where visibility is limited. The bead head adds weight for a quick sink and a subtle flash that draws attention in the water column.
