Perhaps the most recognized, fished, and proven nymph ever tied. The hare’s ear nymph will attract fish even when there is no hatch on. The Hare's ear is a nymph that imitates almost any natural nymph. I would suggest you try it in runs and riffles, or fish it in still waters.

Stripping this nymph back toward you on a lake or pond can get trout on the rod. It is a must for every fly box.  The Bead Headed varieties are brilliant.  WeI find stripping these hits fish regularly. The gold bead head attracts the trout with the Hare's Ear as the main "bait". A deadly fly for the fly fisherman.
