This is a popular pattern for steelhead in the GTA and on Great Lakes tributaries throughout the region. Can be euro-nypmhed, fished under an indicator or float fished with a centrepin.
Super durable and has a wonderfully natural "chewy" texture. Material gets very soft when wet and straightens out. Must have for steelhead and high water trout!
This is a handy addition to a euro-nymph collection. If you don't fish euro-style, not to worry, this prince nymph variation works just as well presented below an indicator.
Most anglers know how effective the classic hare's ear nymph is. RIO's HE Man is a variation of this classic, tied on a barbless jig hook and with a tungsten bead for weight in either matte black (with a hot spot of thread) or a gold bead version.
Great scud, sow bug, cranefly, or caddis pattern! Tied with a heavy tungsten bead these will get down fast, the mm measurement next to the size represents the diameter of beadhead used.
