When you say 'Hare's Ear', do you mean any nymph pattern, or any pattern that uses Hare's Ear, or only a Hare's Ear Nymph?
How about putting me down for a Weighted, Barred Hare's Ear Nymph.
Hook: #14 Nymph
Thread: 6/0 Brown Unithread
Weight: Alloy wire
Tail: Hare's Ear fibers
Abdomen: Hare's Ear Fibers, brown and cream alternated.
Rib: Gold Wire
Thorax: Hare's Ear Fibers, brown and cream, alternated.
Wing Case: Pheasant Tail Fibers (or Peacock Hearl, your choice).
I will post pictures as soon as I get them tied and tested.
I'm in. I'll have to research a variation.
One set of classic Hare's Ear nymphs started on the bench. Maybe a bead thrown in.
Any type of a Hares Ear fly.
Mine will be made with something other than hares ear, but it has worked for me.
Rick
I think I'm in with the classic, too. You can never have enough Hare's Ears.Quote:

Well Guy's My hands have gotten worse. My "Vet" thinks I have Reumitoid Arthritis(ignore misspelling) just got the test's done this morning,
will have the results next week.
However My tying has come to a halt for awhile, so I'm going to have to drop out of the swap hopefully its only for a little while.
I'll keep Ya'all informed as I learn more.
Bill
Sorry to hear that.
Rick
Ow, Bill, that's very bad news indeed. I'm so sorry to hear that. Keep your head up.
Sjo
Bill, sorry to hear your news. Keep us updated and best wishes.
Bill
gmac, got your flies today. Never thought of doing a fly that way.
Rick
Slightly off-topic, but Allan is hosting a Classic Streamer Swap, and he has lots of open slots. I signed up just now. I think it will be a cool swap.
My prayers are with you.

If anyone has a problem with it, or would like a different slot, just let me know, and we will adjust however we need to.
My nymphs are in the mail.
Flies in the mail! Been a while since I've tied this small.
I forget who was hosting, but we a swap a while back where the flies were so small I almost had to use my dissecting microscope to tie them. Some kind of Midge Swap.

The Nerve Damage has Hit pretty good( dosen't help bouncing around all day in that Great Truck I play in all week). The prognosis is it will either get worse or it will get better or stay the same.
We will see. I will really miss this swap!
My tying and My fishing will be on hold for the forseeiable future.
Take Care
Bill

Rick
Have you received your flies?
Rick
Got the flys, and I might say they are great!
Gottem today. Great-looking bugs. I'm going to test a few of them out behind the house this afternoon.
Flies arrived. Thanks and good job everyone.
Mine came in yesterday also. It's a very nice bunch. Thanks all and especially Rick for hosting!
Sjo
My fly was tied with Icelandic Horse Hair in a dubbing brush.
Have done well on panfish with it.
Rick
My flies arrived today. Thanks Rick. They look great.
Now I just have to think up something for May.:confused:
I recieved a Really Nice Set of Flies in the Mail today. I REALLY Want to Thank You All for including Me. The "Vet" has Me on some New drugs that are helping, If I keep on improving I may be able to return to Tying, Hopefully By June.
However and I know this will disapoint some on the Swap the days of the Micro flies are over.
Again Thanks to All
Bill
