no matter how experienced a tyer i think i am, i always go back to relearn “beginner” flies. i find i have always missed something i didn’t notice when i had no idea what i was doing. thank you Mr. Clarke.
This is one of the best flies I've ever seen tied of any kind. I only hope to be able to match it someday. I've only tied for 14 months, and if I were to take my time to do this good it would likely take me over an hour to tie this fly this well.
Thanks. Once you have mastered the techniques and proportions in this pattern, it only takes a few minutes to tie. If you would like to take your tying to the next level please consider this: www.amazon.com/Flytying-beginners-popular-international-patterns/dp/1913159280/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=g7SSP&content-id=amzn1.sym.9119971c-28e7-426d-b1df-798ac36bb5cd%3Aamzn1.symc.e5c80209-769f-4ade-a325-2eaec14b8e0e&pf_rd_p=9119971c-28e7-426d-b1df-798ac36bb5cd&pf_rd_r=E6XRFCX3GCEZ2MZYRXV7&pd_rd_wg=uAghw&pd_rd_r=ffe2345b-7d6c-4637-a67b-07b4ad19d50d&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m#customerReviews
Your flies always stand out more than the others I see on YT Barry. Such an excellent tyer. I scroll through and watch so many videos and it seems I choose your patterns everytime. So elegant.
Barry, you are an amazing fly tiyer. Your flies are pure perfection. This hare's ear nymph is the most beautiful piece of basic art I have ever seen. I will be tying some of these with and without a bead head.
I live in north west Oregon, and I'm blessed with trout streams and tributaries abound... The stone fly nymph and it's emerger are pretty much all of the flies that i tie anymore, and i fish them all year round. They are a hardy fly and really hold up to the conditions and beating against branches and rocks and the constant hammering from to those brookies and brownies...I fish them through gravel beds and rarely snag...I bring a kit with me and will model a live fly for color and size now and then... Nice legs by the way,... I liked, Shared and Subscibed. Now I'm gonna go tie one on... Thank you Kenneth Clarke
Thanks Barry for sharing all. Doesn't make sense though, as a highly educated individual (your credentials as a professional photographer), you would use a barbless hook to protect the catch and at the same time you would advocate the use of lead wire.
What beginners will learn, soon enough, is that the most experienced, "match the hatch," fly fisherman will always have this pattern and PT in several shades and sizes in their box. They are timeless. Barry, do you have your beginner vids in a compilation for sale? I would not feel right downloading and using them for training classes. PM if you wish.
Hi K, My new flytying for beginners book with QR code links to all the videos is out in August this year and very reasonably priced at £14:99. Learning to tie flies has never been easier, and can be pre order here merlinunwin.co.uk
Overall excellent as always. For some things (loading the dubbing loop, spinning it up) it might help to back up the camera so there is a wider field of view and more of the process is visible.
Hi, the pattern really, the gold ribbed hares ear has always used gold oval tinsel, whereas the pheasant tail nymph was originally tied with copper wire. In fact, the pheasant tail nymph used copper wire instead of tying thread!
This is an old standard that I use a lot in various sizes from 12- 16 . I find it funny many younger fly fishers will ask me what I used to catch the trout I just released. When I tell them a hares ear , they most times will ask . What is that ? With so many flies being invented the old go to flies are sometimes forgotten. Thanks
Hi, nice pattern, a bit fussy but a good fly that catches a lot of big trout. What we don’t need is that music blaring in the background, your choice, not mine and I gave up watching because it got a bit too much. Harera
I think that hares ear fure is one of the most useful material in fly tying ! Nice pattern !👍👍🤩😉
Thanks Simon.

This video goes to show that no matter how long I have been tying, I can always learn something. Thanks for all you do Mr Clarke.
Glad to help Todd, thanks.
Awesome lesson, I started saving dubbing after you mentioned it in a previous video and it was the best thing I have ever done.
Thanks Jimmy, good to hear that you found it useful.
Another beautiful tie, thanks Barry, great instructions.
My pleasure Lee, glad you enjoyed it.

@9:05 “what we need here is some phe phe…pheasant tail”…
That was funny and you weren’t even trying. 😊
Oh Yeah!
Very beautiful fly congratulations ❤️👍
Thank you!
Nicely done! One of my favourite. A lot of trout caught on these.
Thanks Newfie.

excellent, thanks Ken.
Hello my Friend! Beautiful tying👍
Thank you!
I haven’t tried a dubbing loop yet so this fly has inspired me to try it.
Haven’t got a loop weight but I’m sure that I can improvise.
Hi Kathryn, if you go to my Fly Tying for beginners play list you will find a few videos about dubbing and dubbing loops. Good luck.
Thanks Barry for sharing all. Doesn't make sense though, as a highly educated individual (your credentials as a professional photographer), you would use a barbless hook to protect the catch and at the same time you would advocate the use of lead wire.
Interesting video...
So pleased that you found it interesting.
thanks again. curiously i have never use hares fure. i will now. trout season just start very very soon in Québec. have a good season
Thanks Hugo, tight lines...
you are a magician
Thank you Pat.

Как всегда навысоте, великолепно 👍🤝
Thank you.
Might be a silly question but can I ask why do you use gold tinsel rather than gold copper wire like you used in the PT?
Hi, the pattern really, the gold ribbed hares ear has always used gold oval tinsel, whereas the pheasant tail nymph was originally tied with copper wire. In fact, the pheasant tail nymph used copper wire instead of tying thread!
Did you make the dubbing material?
Hi, yes you can watch my video on how to make Hares ear dubbing.
This is an old standard that I use a lot in various sizes from 12- 16 . I find it funny many younger fly fishers will ask me what I used to catch the trout I just released. When I tell them a hares ear , they most times will ask . What is that ? With so many flies being invented the old go to flies are sometimes forgotten. Thanks
Thats great Leonard, thanks.
I do my pheasant tail nymph like this. ( Well, the wing, and collar anyway) should I not do them like that?
You do them what ever way is best for you Randy!
Класс! Благодарю! 👍🤝🇰🇿
Thanks
vraiment jolie
Merci Francois.
👣👀👍🥂
Thank you.
Hi, nice pattern, a bit fussy but a good fly that catches a lot of big trout. What we don’t need is that music blaring in the background, your choice, not mine and I gave up watching because it got a bit too much. Harera
Hi Piere, No music here so you are watching another video...
