Thanks!
Just started tying these this winter, have tried them out a couple of times, but got some river fishing later this summer where they will be perfect!

Trust me, a good March Brown dun pattern during a hatch can draw some seriously hair-raising strikes! Despite my screen name, the March Brown hatch is my favorite one to fish.

Nice fly. But the recipe I have is from the catskill tradition patterns and it was done by Dave Brandt.the body calls for ruddy tan red fox.
