Beadhead Hare's Ear

Fly: Bob Petti, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 2547
Thread: Tan
Body: Siman "Sparkle Squirrel" dubbing brush
Head: Gold Bead

Note: I don't fish many nymphs, but those that do I like to keep simple and "disposable". These fit the bill nicely, as Jan Simon's dubbing brushes make the task of creating a spikey/sparkly body a snap. These flies can be knocked off a couple dozen or more an hour, which certainly helps me fish them more effectively as I'm not afraid to fish them right along the bottom.
