- Fishing Techniques.
The Hares Ear & Cream Czech Nymph is best used in river fishing, particularly in fast-flowing waters. To maximise effectiveness, employ the Czech nymphing technique, which involves a short line and a high rod tip to maintain direct contact with the fly. This allows for better strike detection and control. Present the fly by casting upstream and allowing it to drift naturally with the current, keeping the line tight. Use a dead-drift presentation, ensuring the fly moves at the same speed as the water. For retrieves, employ a slow hand-twist or short, sharp strips to mimic natural insect movement, enticing trout to strike.

most effective?
The Hares Ear & Cream Czech Nymph is most effective during spring and autumn when trout are actively feeding on nymphs.

Autumn, from September to November, also sees heightened nymph activity as trout prepare for winter. This fly excels in clear, fast-flowing streams and rivers, particularly during overcast days or when water levels are slightly elevated. It mimics a wide range of aquatic insects, making it versatile during various hatch periods.
