This a variation of the Hare’s Ear Nymph tied with a tungsten bead on a jig style hook. This is a staple pattern for the Black Hills, and our guides always have a few of these stashed away in their boxes. The tungsten jig hook enables the fly get down quickly and it rides hook up, giving you less snags and better hookups. This is a fly you don't want to be without if you're fishing the Black Hills!
