Parachute Hare's Ear Dry Fly

$1.49
Size
The Parachute Hare's Ear is a versatile hybrid pattern that combines the universal fish-attracting qualities of the traditional Hare's Ear nymph with the high-visibility and low-riding presentation of a parachute dry fly. This combination creates a "buggy" and suggestive silhouette that imitates a wide range of aquatic insects, including mayfly duns, caddis, and even stoneflies. Its ability to effectively mimic multiple food sources makes it one of the most reliable and productive all-around dry flies an angler can carry.

Product Features
  • Versatile Imitation: The ragged, buggy dubbing of the hare's mask perfectly suggests the profile of a wide variety of mayflies, caddis, and other aquatic insects emerging or trapped in the surface film.
  • Low-Riding Presentation: The parachute design ensures the fly sits flush in the surface film, presenting a realistic, vulnerable profile that is highly effective on slow-moving water and for selective trout.
  • High Visibility Post: The bright parachute post provides excellent visibility, allowing anglers to easily track the fly and detect strikes even in challenging light conditions.
  • Durable Construction: Expertly tied with robust materials, this fly is built to withstand multiple strikes and tough fishing conditions.
  • Optimal Sizing: Available in a wide range of sizes #10, #12, #14, #16, and #18, covering the key range for matching many different hatches and fishing situations.

When to Use the Parachute Hare's Ear Dry Fly
The Parachute Hare's Ear is an exceptional "confidence" fly that can be used in a variety of situations when you are unsure what insect trout are feeding on.
  • Searching Pattern: The top choice for prospecting or "searching" for fish when no specific hatch is apparent.
  • Slow to Medium Current: Most effective in slower to medium-speed water where a delicate presentation is required.
  • Match-the-Hatch Stand-in: Use it as a reliable substitute when you can't perfectly match the specific mayfly or caddis hatch.
  • Sipping Trout: Highly effective when trout are quietly "sipping" duns from the surface film, a situation where the low-riding profile excels.
  • Dry-Dropper Rig: Can be used as a buoyant top fly in a dry-dropper rig, especially for smaller flies.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.

NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
