The Fly Fishing Place Double Bead Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymph – 6 Flies, Size 10

Overview

The Fly Fishing Place Double Bead Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymph is a modern take on a classic trout pattern. Featuring a natural hare's ear body and two gold beads, this setup helps with depth control from the first cast, while maintaining a lifelike profile as you mend and drift.

Designed for versatile use, each fly is tied on a size 10 hook, making it a practical choice for a range of freshwater scenarios—from fast riffles to slower pools. The combination of a proven body and added weight makes this pattern a helpful option when you need a reliable nymph that can ride mid-column with your drift.

Why anglers reach for this pattern

The Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear has long been a staple in many nymphing kits. The two beads not only add weight, but also a subtle flash that can attract attention as water currents bend and shimmer past the fly. The result is a presentation that looks like a natural nymph in many common freshwater environments.

• Heavily beaded for getting deep into the water column quickly
• Gold ribbing provides a touch of flash without overwhelming the natural body
• Hare's Ear imitation helps suggest an insect drop in riffles, runs, and pockets

Best uses in real-world angling

Ideal on freestone rivers where insect nymphs and larvae are a key food source for trout. The bead setup can help you reach mid-column depths where many fish feed, while the overall silhouette remains compact enough for steady drifting. You’ll find this pattern useful when targeting trout, bass, salmon, panfish, or steelhead in varied water types.

• Trout and bass often respond to a proven nymph profile with modest flash
• Effective in streams and in larger rivers where deeper presentation helps

Pack contents and fishing tips

Pack includes six flies, each tied on a size 10 hook. Use these in standard nymph rigs, or pair with appropriate weight to adjust depth. Try slow drifts, measured pulls, or dead-drifted presentations to learn how the pattern behaves in your water of choice.
