BH Gold Rib Hare's Ear

Bead Head Gold Rib Hare’s Ear

The Bead Head Gold Rib Hare’s Ear is one of the most versatile and productive nymph patterns ever created. Designed to imitate a wide range of aquatic insects including mayflies, caddis larvae, stoneflies, and general subsurface trout food, this fly consistently produces fish in nearly every type of water.

The bead head helps the fly sink quickly while the gold ribbing adds subtle flash and segmentation for a highly realistic appearance. Its buggy hare’s ear body creates natural movement and texture that trout find irresistible. Available in Standard, Flashback, and Olive variations, this classic pattern can match a variety of underwater insects and fishing conditions.

Whether drifted beneath an indicator, tight-lined through riffles, or fished as part of a tandem nymph setup, the Bead Head Gold Rib Hare’s Ear is an essential fly for trout anglers everywhere.
