Flashback Hare's Ear

Clone

The Flashback variant adds a strip of pearl tinsel over the wing case of the classic Hare's Ear, providing flash that mimics the trapped gas bubble of an emerging insect. This simple addition significantly increases the fly's visibility and effectiveness, especially in off-color water.
