Flies Direct Hares Ear Nymph Assortment

This Flies Direct collection gathers 12 hand-tied Hares Ear Nymphs designed for trout fishing in rivers and streams. The assortment includes four flies of each hook size—14, 16, and 18—giving you a versatile range for depth control and drift across varying water conditions.

Quality crafted by experienced tiers

• Hand-tied by professionals who take pride in craftsmanship, delivering consistent finish and movement.
• Fished on high-quality Mustard hooks, chosen for durability and a reliable entry into the drift.

Pattern and presentation

The Hares Ear Nymph pattern offers a natural, earthy silhouette that imitates common aquatic insects in the nymph stage. In moving water, the pattern tends to swim with a subtle, lifelike motion, helping it track through riffles and seams. The varied sizes in this set make it easier to match hatch conditions while experimenting with depth and drift technique.

What’s included and how to use it

• 12 flies total: 4 x size 14, 4 x size 16, 4 x size 18.
• Ready-to-rig assortment for quick on-river substitutions without retying.
• Ideal for classic nymphing setups, light-line presentations, and drift fishing in streams and rivers.

Real-world use cases

In late-spring through early fall, anglers often reach for this nymph pattern to cover slow pools and fast runs where trout hover near the bottom. The earthy tone and compact profile can help the fly move naturally with the current, inviting a subtle strike from cruising trout. The assortment’s size variety supports adjustments as you move from pocket water to deeper runs.

Tips for best results

• Start with the heaviest size (14) in slower sections, then fine-tune depth using the lighter sizes as needed.
• Pair with a light strike indicator or a short-nymph rig to detect subtle takes.
• Inspect each fly before casting to ensure the hackle and tail maintain a lifelike posture in the water.
