The Hare's Ear Whisper

Hook
Size 14 light wire nymph hook
Thread
Uni 8/0 brown
Abdomen
Brown thread (only the first third of the hook shank)
Rib
X-small gold wire
Thorax
Brownish black hare's mask fur

This fly is actually a grayling pattern from Great Britain.  It is a little wisp of nothing tied on the first third of the hook shank.  It looks like a half finished fly but the fish don't seem to mind. I often fish this fly off a dropper on my standard Czech nymph set-up.  My guess is trout are taking it a midge pupa.
