Lewis’s special Hares Ear

Lewis’s Special Hares Ear is a proven buggy nymph pattern designed for trout and grayling fishing. Built around the classic hares ear profile, this fly offers a natural, scruffy appearance that suggests a wide range of aquatic insects, making it an excellent searching pattern throughout the season.

The textured body and mobile fibres create movement in the water, while the bead adds weight and attraction to help the fly get down quickly to feeding fish. Its natural tones make it especially effective in rivers, streams, glides, riffles, and deeper runs where fish are feeding close to the bottom.

A reliable choice for Euro nymphing, upstream nymphing, and general nymph fishing, Lewis’s Special Hares Ear is a versatile pattern that deserves a place in any trout or grayling fly box.
