Soft Hackle Hare’s Ear – a classic, buggy emerger with irresistible movement

Soft Hackle Hare’s Ear are timeless wet fly fishing flies that blends natural texture with subtle motion to imitate emerging mayflies, caddis, and a variety of aquatic insects. Its soft hackle design gives it lifelike movement, while the buggy Hare’s Ear dubbing creates a natural, realistic look that trout find hard to ignore. This fly is ideal when fish are feeding just below the surface or during hatch activity.

Design / Features

The Soft Hackle Hare’s Ear features a classic Hare’s Ear dubbed body for a buggy, translucent appearance, paired with soft hen hackle that breathes naturally in the current. The muted tones closely match many aquatic insects, making it a versatile pattern year-round. The sparse build allows for a soft presentation and delicate drift, perfect for fooling selective trout.

When & Where to Use

The Soft Hackle Hare’s Ear performs best in freestones, tailwaters, and spring creeks when trout are feeding in the upper water column. Swing it through riffles, dead drift it on a tight line, or fish it as a dropper behind a dry fly. It’s especially effective during mayfly and caddis hatches from spring through fall.
