Things have been hectic here. Mys sister-in-law died last Wednedsay night.
Lots of things to do to help the family.
Getting this out now so we can get started.
Hares ears type flies. What is your variation on this that works for you.
Rick
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.
I’ll do hare’s ear flymphs.

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.
