HOT SPOT HARES EAR
Some of you are probably thinking to yourselves, “why are they putting another hares ear video on here?” Believe me, this is not a normal hares ear. I first tied this variation up at the start of this last summer and I found myself tying this on the end of my line almost every time I found myself on the water. It produces fish after fish. The hot spot dubbing is a UV fluorescent pink ice dubbing that must drive the fish crazy and want to try it out. This fly even had days where it was outdoing our go-to fly, the two-toned surveyor! Get some of this UV Fl. pink ice dubbing and tie these up. This fly is a great choice if you euro nymphing as well.

Bead: Gold tungsten to fit hook
Abdomen: SLF natural brown squirrel

Frenchie fly pattern
For this pattern, we are going to give credit where its due because this fly catches fish like crazy and one of our favorites. Anytime we get to new water, or just plain want to catch fish, we tie on this pattern. It’s easy to tie and very effective. Lance Egan came up with the pattern and Devin Olsen introduced it to us. I personally make sure I have plenty of these flies in my fly box at all times. Gilbert often drools at the site of my fly box when he opens it up to see LOTS of frenchies! Tie lots of these and experiment with some different colors of dubbing for the collar to suit your needs and find the most effective color for your own waters and please, let us know just how many fish you catch with this pattern. You will not be disappointed!!!
