"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I always have a few BH Hare's Ear nymphs in my box, no matter where I'm fishing, since it seems to pass for mayfly nymphs, caddis larva, and scuds all at once. The gold mylar ribbing catches just enough flash...
"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I keep the BH Pheasant Tail in my box year-round because it just gets down fast and looks natural doing it. The copper rib adds enough weight that I can fish it in faster water without swapping to a heavier rig.""Frank...
