This is the second time I’ve watched this video.
I have tied grosses of this pattern, as a semiprofessional.
This method beat the (insert expletive) out of any way I ever tried tying it.
As an American I have a lot to cope with and be of which to be thankful.
One is that I can watch Mr. McPhails videos , witness a master at work, do some armchair tying and learn something new every viewing.
The Hare's Ear may be my favorite fly. You can sink them down to the feeding zones or grease them and fish them like an emerger in the film. Some of my best fish have been taken on this fly, I never leave home without them. I love your work Davie, thanks for videos. Everyone be well!
I have always been intimidated about using fur for dubbing, but thank you Mr. McPhail, you shown that it's easier than I thought. Now I can broaden my tying.
Davie Mcphail, you served as both a fly tying mentor and my own little version of Bob Ross. Thank you sir much appreciate all the time and effort you put into the art of fly tying. Merry Christmas!
Now there’s another one that appeals to my sense of fly style. Thank you for another super tie Davie. As always a pleasure to watch.
It’s good to see the classics again! ThnxDavy
I love to watch you work David. Perfection in every detail!
Nice nymph pattern, one which even I might be able tie competently! Thanks again for the tuition as it's making my tying improve and giving me targets during my quarantine!
Thank you Davie! These guys will be a perfect addition to my fly box for my upcoming Colorado trip. Wonderful job as always 👌🏼
A simple fly as you stated but you seem to make EVERY fly elegant; Thanks for sharing!!!!
Classic with touch of Davie's perfection... Good inspiraction for tying next fly. Thanks Davie!
Davie - watched a number of these G.R.H.E. nymph tying vids (and variations). My first was a disaster. Your technique is so much easier to tie (I'm a beginner) - and what elegant flies you do tie. Thanks for sharing your talent. Beginners really appreciate it :-)
For Colorado, this is one of my all-time favorite patterns to fish. Thank you for sharing this!! Dan
Thanks Davie! This is a great video of a classic fly. Instead of clipping the excess of tail, I keep the pheasant tail long, tie over it and I just fold it back over twice.
Great video; Davie your proportioning skills are better than a surgeon. This is the only fly that I can take and know I will catch a fish. Dead drifting this fly all day and it works great.
I find that too many times I forget about building a head and am too anxious to simply whip finish. It's an important part of the fly and certainly adds to it. Thanks Davie!
And that solves Skue's Hare's Ear Puzzle. Well tied and as always well thought through.
Now thats a real beauty. Thanks for all the great flies and great videos. Your the man.
Thanks! It's very enjoyable to watch you tying!
Think this is the first time I watched one of your videos. Just starting to fly fish this year, I tie my own flies. This one always looked a bit complex to tie until I watches your video. Thank you for making this, I will be sure to follow it when I tie later.
Fantastic dressing! Simple flies work the best. You are truly an artist!
I like Hare's Ears a lot for nymph fishing. Nice movie.
Nice looking Hare's Ear Nymph Davie.
I am going to tie a couple and try them out when the season starts.
Thankyou for showing me how to make them.
Aloha, & Happy New Year. 🌴🏄♂️🎋💥
Truly a great nymph. Classic style. I'm gonna tie and fish the olives this year. Also I am learning to wax my thread as well. Great tips. I really enjoyed this one. Cheers from wisconsin
I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you.
Was just looking though my fly boxes. I'm very low on gold ribbed hare's ear nymphs. Having some olive versions will be nice. Thanks for pointing them out.
Mike
Always catching fish. Thx for sharing Davie 😊
I use a similar pattern , in my opinion, it´s a killer fly. Good tying. Thanks.
Great fly , it's been around for along time for a reason . It works everywhere ! I tie this pattern a lot in 18 to 12 in multiple colors works especially good on my home river the Madison where you have a lot of caddis and stoneflies . My wife always freaks out when I have hare masks lying around on my bench, something about them that make her a nervous :-) but she likes the way they work 🎣
Precise and still buggy, thanks Davie!
Крутая мухенция,получилась.
Bravo Davie!
Bonjour Davie , très belle nymphe !!!
Bonne Année 2019.
Bravo!
Davie,
while watching this, I saw a couple places where the rotary function of your vice would be useful.
Dubbing the thread, for example, is facilitated if you just turn the hook point 90 degrees out of the way.
Please don’t take this the wrong way; I have nothing but respect for you.
But it made me wonder.
It looks like such a lovely vise You have there, by the way.....
Great looking nymph mate. The big ole browns and bows would love that one. I always use some uv resin on the wing case. Does that matter or help protect the fly some what. Thanks for sharing with us all again.
Best Regards, Ken
I find that a resin coating improves the durability of wing cases; especially helping to resist splitting and slipping over to the sides of the thorax, leaving the back bear. A strip of opal mirage tinsel in the middle of the case looks really neat, too, and works well for me. It is also easy to put a hot-colored head on these by using white thread and coloring it with a fluorescent sharpie or even a highlighter before forming the head and whip finishing. Test the fluorescence first by coloring a section of thread and shining your UV curing light on it; some markers do a much better job than others. Chartreuse and olive seem to be a dynamite color combo for me; though I mostly use my trout flies on panfish.
The Olive Hare's Ear,especially for trout and salmon on the Mediterranean Diet.
he is top drawer
👍
Do you fish these fly with a floating line or intermediate when you are in still Waters?
Hi Stycho Brahe,
I prefer to fish a floating line but I also like a clear intermediate or even a midge tip which is very popular now especially on still waters..
All the very best Davie
Hi Dave, I'm struggling to get materials as can't visit shops during the shutdown. As a consequence I'm spending too much money online buying materials that are either poor quality or the wrong size. Can you tell me the make and width of the gold tinsel you use in this excellent video?
Hi William,
The small flat gold tinsel I used originally came from Veniards but I believe they no longer sell it so I have attached a link to Lagartun tinsel which is much the same.I'm glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for the kind words..
All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail Thanks Davie, I have ordered some and look forward to having another go at tying a few before the start of the season. You are a real artist and I have learned so much from watching your videos.
Очень простая и эффективная, а может свяжете stonefly?)
Looks really fishy Davie!!!
Would dyed green squirrel work too?
Hi Chris,
It's a great wee nymph and tyed with any fur and natural colour would definitely be worth doing as I'm sure it would catch for you...I'm glad you liked it...
All the very best Davie..
I believe that Wapsi carries a blended dubbing called "spikey squirrel" that should work quite well. It even has a touch of SLF flash material in it.
Is the tinsel metal? What brand is it. Hard to find in the states
Hi Josh,
It is real tinsel as I have had it for many years, the only company I know that sell proper tinsel is Lagartun, I have attached a link to it for you to see...

Thanks Davie
How do you retrieve these nymphs Davie please?
Hi Trevor,
It can be retrieved in many ways as this fly does give the impression of many insects both on rivers and lochs so the more ways you can present and retrieve the fly the more chance you will have of catching..Allowing it to drift naturally when fishing on the river does well but it can easily be twitched back or even allowed to swing round with the current as sometimes the fish do like this..On the lochs again you could do much the same using it with other flies to help you control the depth and the speed you fish it..I hope this is of some help to you..
All the very best Davie.
@@DavieMcPhail I’ve started to tie your micro glint nymphs but after tying the tail in and start to wind the pheasant tail, it the tail twist’s around the hook
How do you fish with this fly?
Hi fabian nacuchi,
I like to fish this nymph with another fly casting it upstream allowing the nymphs to drift drag free keeping an eye out for any disturbance below or near the fly or a pause in the cast which would hopefully be a fish having a go..Once the flies get in line with me I will also bring the tip of the rob towards and below me causing the nymphs to rise and also giving them an odd twitch which can induce a take, this method has caught me many fish over the years..
All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail thank you
You need to speak more clearly
