Hare's Ear - Olive

Meet the nymph that quietly steals dinner from picky trout and makes you look like you know what you’re doing. The Hare's Ear - Olive is the reliable little impersonator your fly box has been whispering about.

For anglers who prefer smart tactics over wild guesses: this olive Hare's Ear mimics Mayfly larvae with convincing subtlety, perfect for streams where trout have seen every flashy gimmick—and ignored them. AXG Life: Life, Adventure-Ready, and tied to catch fish (and compliments).

Key Features & Design

• Pattern: Gold Rib Hare's Ear nymph
• Imitation: Olive Mayfly larvae / mayfly nymph
• Color: Olive dubbing with gold ribbing
• Sizes available: #08 – #20 (covers big trout days to picky micro-nymphing)
• Use: Freshwater nymph fishing; versatile in rivers, streams, and pocket water

Performance & Benefits

This fly doesn’t scream for attention—it convinces. The olive dubbing gives an extra layer of realism that trout trust, and the gold rib adds just enough flash to register on hesitant fish without tipping them off. In plain terms:

• Natural profile: Looks like real Mayfly larvae so trout bite without suspicion.
• Versatile sizes: From #08 for hungry big fish to #20 for selective eats—swap and adapt without drama.
• Durable build: Tough enough for repeated drifts and the occasional snag rescue.
• All-around go-to: Great for nymph rigs, dropper setups, or that “I’ll throw one more” cast before lunch.

It turns stuck weekends into hero stories and is built for midnight trail runs and questionable decisions—mostly the kind that end with trout photos and smug grins.
