Hey, Warren: Compare your pic to these:
#1 http://www.fishing-in-wales.com/_pic...s/marchbrn.jpg

The above is a very strong candidate while the two below don't look
as likely. *BUT* my vision is going and I really do need to get my
eyes checked. :-( Discounting color differences (unreliable
criteria anyway), I would say that the above is the closest pic I
have seen other than a pic in one of my books.

#2 http://www.worleybuggerflyco.com/ima...ch%20Brown.jpg
#3 http://tinyurl.com/3ykaj

I googled "March Brown" under google images. Are these the same animal?

They don't look the same to me, but do look like more like what I am
used to seeing called March Browns.

This last pic;
#4 http://www.goulburnvlyflyfishing.com...wn/report5.jpg
might not be the same fly as yours, or as the others. Its labeled as a March
Brown, but it has three tails, a much smaller head, the leading edge of the
wings is much larger, and the markings are not exactly the same.

Looks closer to the one I saw than #2 and #3, but not as close as #
1. I plan on checking out some books at the library tomorrow since
my bug ID arsenal is extremely lacking right now. If worse comes to
worse, I am going to email the pic I took to a local entomologist
and see if he can't ID the bug. ;-)

Even more interesting, I think, is the wide range of FLIES that are called
'March Brown'.

That was something I kept getting sidetracked with. I kept checking
out different patterns. g

Thanks for taking the time doing the search. I did the same search
and got to page 10 before giving up because my dial-up connection is
pretty damn slow. It's what I get for living in a rural area I
guess.....
