Fugly Hare's Ear

[@FlyTyer1948]

You have to love a fly with that name. Meaty looking yes, nasty no. But so appetizing to a fish. Good one! I’m saving this. Thank you & be well.

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

Thank you for your continued support.

Great looking fly with that technique. THINK SPRING

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

Thanks. It is a technique I use often and it is not that difficult with the righ† materials.

[@mikeney5113]

Very nice.i have few like it and man they fish well!!

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

Yes they do. Bottom line is fish eat ugly flies even if we hate to admit it.

[@robertmajor4904]

Oh I will tie a few of those for sure, thank you for the video! End of the day Fuggly!

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

Let me know how they come out. I love hearing of others’ success with my stuff.

[@RockyPhillips]

Love this, thank you for this tutorial

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

Thanks for watching!

[@lonewizzard8456]

Fuglier the better. They simply work when all else fails.

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

Indeed they do.

[@MrTCAllen77]

Love this. Funny though, my hares ears alway end fugly. Lol. But they catch fish. Bluegill and bass love these in the late spring and early summer. I just tie it on under a large airlock indicator and slowly twitch it.

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

Well, this one is really fugly! I find that the fuglier the better is usually a good motto. Thanks for the input.

[@MrTCAllen77]

@@ShortyOnTheFly I agree. It seems the fuglier, the more productive the fly is. Something I learned from my grandfather, nature isn’t perfect, why tie a perfect fly?

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

@@MrTCAllen77 Great point. The only thing I would suggest is that even ugly flies need to be tied consistently. Make sure that their ugliness is on purpose and not because you can't tie a nice fly if you want to. Peace!

[@MrTCAllen77]

@@ShortyOnTheFly consistency is the key. Probably the hardest part of tying flies. Anybody can wrap feathers and fur to a hook. But, every fly must look the same just as you did in this video. Keep the great content coming.

Love your videos shorty!! What brand are those leafed fly boxes you use??

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

I got one of them from Precision Fly Fishing but I have seen them with other brands stamped on them. I just keep my eyes out at shows. The are kind of hard to find.

@@ShortyOnTheFly I bought a fly box befoe Christmas just like that on Amazon. It says it is from White River. It was a great Christmas present. Goal is to fill it with flies from this channel

[@tomemslie6978]
