Region Fishing Tungsten Soft Hackle Hares Ear Jig Head Fly – Euro Nymph, Hook #12, 6ct

Region Fishing presents the Tungsten Soft Hackle Hares Ear Jig Head Fly, a Euro Nymph pattern redesigned for jig hooks. By combining a classic buggy profile with modern weight, this fly aims to present a natural, lifelike silhouette just beneath the surface and into the strike zone. The tungsten bead keeps the fly in view of hungry trout, while the barbless Hanak hook seeks clean penetration and easier release for anglers who practice catch-and-release principles.

Why anglers reach for this pattern

The soft hackle adds subtle motion as the fly drifts and twitches with current. The jig head orientation helps the hook ride upward on the drift, improving hookups in tight spaces and around cover. This combination appeals to trout that respond to movement and a compact profile.

Key benefits at a glance

• Tungsten Bead – sinks quickly to the feeding lane for faster presentation
• Jig Hook – reduces snags and positions the hook for upward strikes
• Barbless Hook – facilitates cleaner penetration and easier release

Pack details and versatility

The 6-pack provides a practical assortment: three flies in size 12 and three in size 14. Tied on Hanak jig hooks, this pattern is well-suited for euro-nymphing setups and drift rigs that target fast-water seams and slower pockets alike.

Where and how to fish it

Cast upstream or across, let the fly sink to the desired depth, then apply a slow, rhythmic retrieve to coax the hackle to flutter. Vary depth and drift length to locate the trout’s preferred depth and movement.

Notes on quality and care

Region Fishing crafts durable ties on high-quality hooks, designed to withstand multiple drifts. To preserve their effectiveness, rinse after use in clean water and store in a dry, ventilated box.
