Umpqua Feather Merchants Flies Hare’s Ear Jig Nymph

So how can you improve upon an already productive pattern??? Well, put it on a jig hook with a tunsten bead! The 90 degree jig hook helps the hook point ride up resulting in fewer snags along the bottom. It also rides and swims more naturally in the water, moving very much like a struggling nymph. The tungsten head on the fly helps it get down quickly to your target depth.
