Guest Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Ask anyone what their favorite go to fly is and you will inevitably get a million different answers from a million different people. WEll, devoted followers of BDH, I'm here to tell you that there is one and only one fly that EVERY fly box should have. Of course for you veteran trout fishermen, you already know that I am talking about the Hare's Ear Nymph. This generic little fly will produce fish when nothing else will. I heard this theory many years ago and have tested it many many times, and have found that it is true. Even the most selective trout will hit a hare's Ear when no other fly is producing any strikes. Now, I am sure that I will get many messages and e-mails telling me that I am wrong, but I am not...and since this is my pet forum......you gotta suck it up and read it!!!!! LOL...but seriously, always have a few of these great nymphs in your box and I can gaurantee with almost undeniable certainty that you will not have a fishless day.

Guest Report post Posted October 16, 2003 BDH also claims you can add an earring to your hare's ear just to add that touch of flash that make the fish go crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I don't know Big Daddy, I just can't see using a Hare's Ear Nymph for Stripers or Tarpon or Albies! But I do have a few in my fly boxes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 69 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 maybe he was talking about trout...since that is the really the only fish worth fishing for.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Hub, you didn't specify that you were talking about trout flies! I'll certainly agree with you about that and I'll add that it's also a great fly tied in various colors! I favor olive or black! My little girl is doing just fine! Thanks for asking, and no you can't meet her! "69" it's OK with me if you only fish for trout, that means you're not in my way when I fish for other species! I learned a long time ago that being narrow minded means you miss out on a lot of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Don't get 69 confused with me. I would never say trout is only fish worth fishing. Now, chum and the likes appeal to me. Actually, if I could get a sturgeon to hit a fly wihout doping it up, I may give it a go. Hmmmm. Not sure how I'll go about doing it. A small sturgeon will beat up a rod that a big king will. Plus have some hardcore acrobatics. Hmmmmm, may have to figure that out next year. LOL. My Dad's and mine yearly salmon trips are turning more into sturgeon trips.
