Olsen's Hare's Ear Blowtorch Barbless 22 - 2.4mm

In 2014 I was in the Czech Republic with my Fly Fishing Team USA mates for the World Fly Fishing Championships. Our guide showed us a tag nymph which he preferred to swing for coarse fish on flatter sections of the Vltava River. I had some success with it during practice but felt I could improve the color scheme, the hackle mobility, the durability and adapt the weight to suit it to nymphing for trout and grayling in the other beats of the river.

No matter the venue, the SOS is a pure workhorse. From the super technical waters of New Zealand to brook trout waters of New England, Higa's SOS is a pattern that will stand the test of time in any variation.
