This is my variation on the "Golden Ribbed Hare's Ear -Dry Fly that was in Frederic M. Halfords book.

I search the internet looking for a possible dry fly pattern for the GRHE, found mostly nymph, and wet fly pattern, and only one dry fly pattern (parachute GRHE).

This is my attempt at updating the GRHE using materials at hand....
