Umpqua Tasmanian Devil Hare's Ear - #14

Umpqua Fly Tasmanian Devil Hare’s Ear is built for tricky trout that refuse standard patterns. The oversized tungsten bead takes the fly down quickly, ideal for deep pockets, fast riffles and tight nymphing. A buggy Hare’s Ear body and soft hackle collar create lively movement, perfect when fish respond better to suggestive patterns than exact imitations.

Fish it as an anchor fly in a Euro nymphing rig, under an indicator, or as the point fly in a team of nymphs. Size 12 with a 4.0 mm bead suits heavier water or deep pools, while size 14 with a 3.5 mm bead is spot on for medium flows and more cautious fish. A reliable choice whenever trout hold close to the bottom and need a little provocation.
