This fly is a bold, high-impact variation on the classic Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear. It keeps the natural, buggy profile that trout trust – but adds a blazing, bright fire orange body that brings instant attention when fish are cruising or feeding hard.
The intense colour gives this pattern real pulling power, making it superb for stillwater trout when you need something natural yet impossible to ignore. The hare’s mask dubbing adds just enough movement and translucency to keep it believable, while the vivid body acts as a trigger point that can provoke aggressive takes.
Retrieve it slowly just under the surface film, or mix in short pulls to flash that fiery body through the water. A proven fly for when subtlety won’t do – natural shape, maximum attraction.
