GH Hare Ear Microjig

Nymph
Easy
  1. Begin by putting the disco tungsten bead on the hook.
  2. Create a tail from light partridge. But do not tie it down the bend of the hook. Trim fibers at the bead head, so you will get more regular body. The tail should be as long as the jig body. Attach the tinsel.
  3. Form a tapered nymph body with Ice Hare Dubbing. Natural hare or rabbit hair will also work fine.
  4. Wind up the gold tinsel rib, fix it behind the tungsten bead.
  5. The pink collar serves as an attractor. I prefer different significant material colors. Create it by winding the dubbing at the head of the fly.
  6. Whip finish the fly.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
