A true all-purpose producer, the BH Olive Hare’s Ear is one of the most reliable “match-everything” nymphs for Eastern Sierra waters. Its buggy olive profile imitates a wide range of subsurface food—from caddis larvae to mayfly nymphs—while the bead head ensures it gets down quickly and stays in the strike zone. The natural, spiky dubbing creates lifelike movement that trout find hard to refuse.
Deadly across systems like the Upper Owens River, Lower Owens River, and Hot Creek, this fly excels in a wide range of conditions—from clear, technical water to slightly stained flows. It’s equally effective as a point fly in a Euro setup or as a dropper in a traditional indicator rig.
Best Uses:
Euro / tight-line nymphing or indicator rigs
Year-round versatility across all water types
Clear to slightly stained conditions
Target: Trout feeding on caddis larvae, mayfly nymphs, and general subsurface insects in Eastern Sierra rivers
