March Brown

The "March Brown" dry fly is a traditional and widely used pattern in fly fishing, designed to imitate the March Brown mayfly, which is prevalent in many rivers and streams during the late spring. This fly features a robust, mottled body of brown and gray tones, mimicking the natural insect's varied and earthy coloration. Its wings are upright and typically made from wood duck or hen feather, enhancing its lifelike appearance on the water. The March Brown is especially effective during sporadic hatches, which occur most frequently from late April through early June, depending on the region. Anglers find it most useful in fast-flowing waters where these mayflies are commonly found, making it a go-to choice for tempting trout that are actively feeding on the surface during the spring months.
