Hare’s Ear Flashback is one of the most dependable and versatile nymphs in fly fishing. Designed to imitate a wide range of aquatic insects—particularly mayfly nymphs, caddis larvae, and general subsurface forage—this pattern has earned its place in every serious angler’s fly box. Its buggy body, crafted from coarse hare’s ear dubbing, creates a natural silhouette and lifelike texture that mimics the real thing with uncanny effectiveness.
What sets the flashback version apart is the addition of a shiny wing case made from reflective tinsel. This minor upgrade adds a subtle shimmer, replicating the glistening back of an emerging insect and drawing attention in both clear and off-colored water. The flash not only makes the fly more visible, but it also acts as a trigger, enticing strikes from curious or feeding fish.
Fish the Hare’s Ear Flashback under an indicator, in a Euro nymph rig, or as a dropper below a dry fly. Its proven ability to catch fish year-round in all types of water makes it an absolute must-have in every trout angler’s rotation. Simple, effective, and time-tested.
