Lovin the videos! Do you have a tutorial for this euro hares ear? Also is the pheasant tail you are using the stoned pheasant tail pattern you tie?

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

I don't have a hare's ear video yet, but I plan to over the summer. The pheasant tail is the pattern on my channel called "Simple Pheasant Tail Jig". The Stoned Pheasant is a similar pattern that's just buggier and bigger and I use that as a stonefly most of the time.

@trapperpak9421 2 года назад

@pawoodsnwater7551 3 года назад

Hey Chuck! Great video, and thanks for the shoutout. Interesting results, I think very similar to my results, basically showing it’s rarely ever just the fly, the drift and presentation are much more of an influence to the outcome. But I do like giving the fish options, like dark nymph or lighter colored nymph or an attractor color, cover the bases and get it in the feeding zone, and you’ll probably have action. Well done!

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

Yeah I agree. I think overall fly pattern has a lot less of an influence than we think. It definitely matters to a degree, but that degree is pretty small I believe. In my experience, when they are eating, they're eating and will mostly take anything that isn't totally different from what's drifting downstream.

@seanp4038 2 года назад

Just wondering if your goin to do a hares ear tying video? Thanks

@trappertrustgod4948 3 года назад

@dalesheehan9404 3 года назад

A tie! That’s like 2 old champions going at it and fighting to a draw.😎 I had picked pheasant tail at the start of the video. Real nice fly placement on some of those tough spots on the second stream. Thanks for the video Chuck.

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! Yeah I thought the PT was going to win by a few, but honestly there couldn't have been a better outcome to show that both are equally as effective.

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

Yeah I can't really say I was surprised either, but I thought the PT was going to win by a few.

@itzmozi_fj2657 3 года назад

You should do another one of these but with two different dry flies

Definitely use them both since you're just starting, but if you have more confidence with one over the other just use the one you're most confident in. Thanks for watching!

I’m predicting the pheasant tail comes out on top.

@ianatkins1213 3 года назад

I’m confident with both. I predict a draw?

@simonbromfield9685 3 года назад

I think you should try 2x ptn or 2x hairs ear to see if it's more related to point vs tag fly. It would be interesting to see those stats as well.

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

That's actually a really good idea! I think I might do this one at some point. Thanks for the suggestion!

@scottnock5241 3 года назад

Great test!!! They are both tried and true patterns!! I still want to know how you manage to find the brown infested waters? With great populations and no stocked fish ???

@soundbwoikilla764 3 года назад

I actually been comparing the 2. Since the beginning of this year, pheasant tail all day, hares ears no comparison. Both wild brookies and stocked rainbows. Last 2 weeks, just the opposite. Nothing doing with the pheasant tail. Switch out to a hares ear and bam.

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

Yeah sometimes it's just like that. I'd say they are definitely equally as good though. Thanks for watching!

@davidhanni208 3 года назад

I highly suggest using hares ear dubbing in walts worm style . I’m a pa guy myself and it catches a lot of fish

@Cimmeron 3 года назад

Hi, great video. These comparisons are great. I just found your channel so apologies of it’s covered in another video but what is the orange line you are using and what diameter. It shows up really well on the camera. I’ve been watching lots of euro nymph videos and on most it’s hard to see the take on the sighter. Yours show up really well. Can you do a hares ear vs walts worm. I’ve always wondered how much impact the tail vs uv hotspot have. Cheers

Nice comparing pheasant tail to hairs ear. Very similar results. Both work well in different water environments. Amazing

@ATREZ0123 2 года назад

My vote is the Pheasant Tail!

@djTorchLive 3 года назад

It seemed like it was more dependent on which one was on the point.

I agree. I think the take away is that they are both equally as effective when put in the right place.

@TB-zh9pe 3 года назад

Is the thorax a bit darker than the abdomen on your Hare's ear, or is it dubbed entirely with one color of fur? Or is the darker spot that I see on the hare's ear a wing case? Also, what size nymphs were you using? I'm glad that you tie and use simple pheasant tails with no legs or wing cases, and that you didn't give the names of those streams. PA has 16,000 miles of wild trout water, and it's not hard to find good trout streams with just a little research.

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

Yeah the dark spot you're seeing is a wing case. Both nymphs were size 16. You're welcome man! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

@robertarena5206 2 года назад

hi, love your videos! have you checked out the streamer pattern called the "triple threat streamer" its a reversed tied streamer with a conehead bead! i would love to see you tie this and make any variation you think might benefit! thanks!!

@jamiewilliams1287 3 года назад

What size hooks are they both and what mm beads are they

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

16 and 2.8mm

@mattstewart2750 3 года назад

The fly itself isn't what the fish key in on. It's the color and size. Both of those flies were similar in color and size. I would bet if you tied some in black, some in tan, and some in olive, you'd see a little more variation. Everyone thinks the fly plays a much greater roll in hooking fish. That's just an easy way for us anglers to put a band aid on our egos. I enjoyed the video, and you have a great area there for some fun small water fishing!

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

I agree that the fly doesn't have much of a roll compared to other factors. You said tie one in black and one in tan. These flies were almost that. One is a dark brown and the other is tan. Thank you for watching!

@matthewjordan8452 3 года назад

Whatever is point fly 90 percent of the time

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

Agreed. Unless there's like a hatch or something and their feeding higher in the water, but even then the point fly still could do better.

@davyjones922 3 года назад

Im a hares ear kinda guy. Lol i know to the fish its probably not the case but to me the hares ear just looks more "buggy". But to be honest id fill my box with either of those choices and have confidence doing it. Nice day on the water and another great video. 👍

@Brownsylvania 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. That's the key here. Confidence. Most people have a preference for whichever nymph they have most confidence in whether that's because it looks more buggy or simply because they've caught more fish on one.

@jakelukasko8717 3 года назад

Hare's Ears are tied with Gold Beads and Gold Ribs. Not copper. You use copper on Pheasant Tails. They original fly is even called the GOLD RIBBED HARE'S EAR. So unfortunately we still do not know which Nymph won. In general, however, the Pheasant Tail will imitate a greater variety of insects. When it does not work, fortunately, we have the Hare's Ear to try. If you love the Pheasant Tail read it's originator's book; Frank Sawyer's classic ground breaking treatise, NYMPHS AND THE TROUT.
