An absolute must-have for stillwater anglers. The Shipman’s Emerger Hare’s Ear CDC is a legendary pattern, originally created by Dave Shipman to imitate the vulnerable adult buzzer just as it hatches through the surface film.
Enhanced with CDC feathers for superb natural floatation, this fly sits perfectly in the surface, tempting fish that are locked onto emerging buzzers during hatches. If the fly becomes waterlogged, a few quick false casts will dry it off and have it fishing perfectly again.
A proven competition-winner, this is also my go-to fly for those stunning evening rises when the light is fading — absolutely deadly.
Key Features:
CDC feather addition for increased floatation
Realistic emerger profile for selective trout
Ideal for evening rises and buzzer hatches
Easily revived with a few false casts if waterlogged
Tied on high-quality, strong hooks
If you're fishing a buzzer hatch at dusk, the Shipman’s Emerger Hare’s Ear CDC is a fly you simply cannot be without.
