Soft Hackle Hare

Fly: Chris Reeves, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Scorpion competition heavy-weight #10
Thread: Brown
Ribbing: Copper wire
Body: Hare's ear or brown rabbit fur
Hackle: English partrisge, brown

Note: This is a great searching pattern for rivers and also works well in a team of flies loch style fishing. I use it on the point as an anchor fly, fishing two or three smaller and lighter nymphs above it.
