Hare & Copper Variant
Related content
It's arguably New Zealand's official nymph and a popular choice for many anglers targeting the legendary trout of Middle Earth. It's a straightforward fly and ideal for the beginner fly tyer. It uses minimal materials and the steps are easy to follow. The Hare and Copper is a fly that has produced fish throughout NZ in a variety of waters and also works well in the North American waters.
I swapped the hare's ear dubbing for Hareline's Hare's Ear Plus. The HEP adds a little trilobal fiber in with Antron fibers. These trilobal fibers give the natural fur a little added boost with subtle reflective properties. I add a little extra weight behind the bead and like to keep the fly a little bit buggy.

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
