Soft Hackle Hare's Ear
A Hare's Ear body with a soft Hungarian partridge hackle collar, designed to be swung across and downstream to imitate emerging caddis and mayflies. The pulsing hackle fibers create lifelike movement that triggers strikes from trout intercepting ascending insects.

Fishing tips
Swing on a tight line across and down. Let the fly hang at the end of the drift — the 'dangle' often produces aggressive takes.
