Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear

This is another
very popular worldwide fly that every fly box should have.  

Like many flies,
the sky is the limit when tying variations of pattern.  Being authentic as
possible is an enjoyable experience but many tiers, including myself, seem to
enjoy the creative part of tying.
