The Classic Hare & Copper Reversionated
The Classic Hare & Copper Reversionated takes one of the most proven trout nymphs around and gives it a subtle modern update.
- Natural hare’s ear dubbing
- Subtle sparkle blended through the body
- Added tail for extra movement
The little bit of flash and colour gives the fly some extra attraction without taking away from the natural, buggy appearance that makes a Hare & Copper so effective. It’s a great general-purpose nymph for fishing under an indicator or as part of a nymph team.
Who is this for?
Trout anglers who love the reliability of a traditional Hare & Copper but want a slightly more modern, attention-grabbing version.

This fly performs well in both still and moving water. The added tail gives it good action, and the subtle sparkle draws fish without looking artificial. I’ve used it in multiple trout streams and it’s been effective under both float and indicator.

A solid upgrade from the classic. The hare’s ear dubbing looks authentic and the movement is natural. It’s a reliable choice for nymphing in clear water conditions. A bit more flash than I expected, but it works well.

Fished in a coldwater stream and caught several trout with this nymph. The subtle sparkle seems to catch the eye of fish without being flashy. The tail adds a nice flick, and it stays on the line well.
