Does anyone have a picture of a March Brown Nymph fly and pattern
they can post via a photo?


Wish I could find a web picture of Carl Coleman's March Brown. He's a
Rochester NY fisherman and created a unique fly that he was very
successful with in the rivers up there for large browns. It's fairly
fat, ribbed with dental floss IIRC, lacquered, and I believe Tom
Rosenbauer wrote that it could possibly be mistaken for a tiny
crayfish.




Heavily weighted, of course, and he's used a variety of rib materials over
the years, from condor, I think, to dental floss. Brown floss abdomen,
Peacock Thorax, and a stiff brown Hackle.
