I like largish gold-ribbed hare's ear nymphs with gold bead heads as my second choice. My first choice is a red fox squirrel tail nymph with some rubber legs added to the thorax.
I like a crawdad imitation but being too lazy too tie the realistic looking ones I use a tan or olive or brown wooly bugger with or without rubber legs or beads.
Hey tar, what size do you tie on the GRHE?
I've had good luck with larger hex nymphs.
My go to nymph for smallies is a #10 or #12 GRHE. No beads, but with a small amount weight in the thorax area.
For smallies, I tie 2 helgramite patterns. The Helgamonster, and a generic hegramite. A helgramite is a nympth, right?
that is the 2nd time ive heard about hares ears ...i am thiking a size 6 or 8 watca think?
I fish rusty brown ,olive buggers in size 4 and big black , brown stone fly nymphs.
That takes care of most work.

Third time for the Hares Ear! lol. I usually use GBHE's but in smaller sizes (12-14). They're perticularly effective when the white flies are around. Two other staples would be Murray's Hellgramite and Road Kill Nymph.
