Hare’s Ear Olive Nymph

A classic nymph pattern that no fly box should be without. The Hare's Ear Olive Nymph from Hazy Fly Fishing combines the proven hare's ear silhouette with an olive dubbing body and a polished bead head that adds flash and sinks the fly quickly into the strike zone.

Whether you're fishing tailwaters, freestone streams, or still waters, this versatile wet fly imitates a wide range of mayfly and caddis nymphs in their emerging phase — exactly when trout are keyed in and feeding aggressively.

Tied on a sharp size 16 jig hook for a natural up-turned presentation and better hookups, the Hare's Ear Olive Nymph excels under an indicator or fished tight-line Euro-style. The copper bead head provides just enough weight to get down without an extra split shot.

Tie it to your dropper rig and let it work — this fly does the rest.
