Re: March Brown
Whoa! That’s such a handsome pattern. You can fish it untreated (wet/damp emerger) or treated (dry).
I’m looking forward to seeing your reports on field trials. I’m confident it will be very effective.

Re: March Brown
Wayne,
Ray's right! Yours is an impressive looking pattern! There are a bunch of versions and/or interpretations out there of this noble fly and yours is destined to become a classic! What is your inspiration for the unique look of this pattern? Abdomen and thorax especially! Very good looking work in the Dubbn style we all know and love!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
Re: March Brown
Beautiful pattern, we need the recipe!

Hook - WFC, Wet Nymph, size 16
Thread/abdomen - Veevus BO9, 14/0 (pheasant tail color)
Tail - CDL
Rib - Pheasant Tail colored Micro Tubing
Thorax - Tan Ostrich Herl
Hackle - Brown Partridge
When the time comes, I am sure this pattern will be more than adequate on the swing. I doubt it will do any better than a Partridge Hares Ear. That being said I wanted to try the PT colored Micro Tubing on a soft hackle . This is what I came up with. I tyed a half dozen.
