In this short video Barrett demonstrates how to tie a heavily weighted Hare’s Ear pattern that has worked for us on local waters and beyond. The pattern can be tied in a variety of sizes, adjusting the eye size with your hook size will keep your proportions correct and get the fly down in a hurry.
Hook: TMC 2457 or Daiichi 1120 size 8-16
Thread: Uni 6/0 Black
Tail: Australian Possum or Dyed Brown Pheasant Tail fibers
Bib: Copper Wire
Body: Hare’s Ear Dub
Legs: Grizzly Barred Fine White
Wing Case: Turkey Feather fibers
Thorax: Hare’s Ear Dub
Great trout pattern… Carp might like that as well
