A real classic March Brown nymph is the Bob Jacklin version (most
traditional ties have this general look):

'March Brown Nymph \"Fly of the Week #70 - FAOL'
(http://tinyurl.com/32ksj3)

For the impressionistic end, the Polly Rosborough one is really
interesting. It is a brown marabou tail with a palmer hackled body
trimmed into a cone shape to give the general impression of a March
Brown nymph without all the details. Don't weight it so it slowly
wiggles back and forth in current - action means a lot for this tie and
it is good for all manner of clinging mayfly nymphs.

For practical fishing and to keep your nymph box less crowded, a soft
hackle Gold Ribbed Hares Ear in size 10 or 12 should do the trick.

All of the above work when the March Browns are about.
