March Brown Nymph

Does anyone have a picture of a March Brown Nymph fly and pattern they
can post via a photo? I've actually never seen one in the wild so I'm
not sure of the size. I know they're clingers long, wide and flat, etc.
If someone is able to do this could you post the picture of the tie
alongside a ruler so I have some reference to the size. It's a big
request and I thank you in advance.

Plug in the URL and it will bring up several pictures & tying instructions
for a March Brown Nymph. They are commonly ties in #10 - #14.

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.

The fishusa guide seems great, but the Eastern March Browns are a late
spring hatch rather than an early spring hatch like out west. One of
my favorite hatches - a mid day hatch in beautiful weather. No getting
up at the crack of dawn or being cold and miserable. While waiting for
the hatch the fish attack those big nymphs, so you don't need to sit
around bored waiting for the hatch. Usually not many March Browns
hatch so that your dry doesn't get lost in the crowd, but they are big
enough to draw most fish up, including many of the bigger guys. Catch
the hatch, take a nap, eat a nice dinner, and then go back to good
action when those huge golden spinners start to drop in the evening.
It's a spinner I can follow at dusk! One of the more pleasant hatches
of the year.

tough to generalize, but here in PA, I would agree with your assessment of
the hatch itself. Even better with a bit of a breeze or a little light rain
to keep those big duns on the water. As for the spinners, I think MB
spinners are the East's most frustrating event. I can't count the times
those big(ours in PA are reddish brown) spinners are up in the air but never
mate and drop. When they do, it's explosive and can yield big fish. If you
are seeing "golden" spinners, chances are those are Grey Fox
spinners(related, but a bit smaller overall), we call them Ginger Quills
also. They are quite a bit more reliable. Final tip, fish the spinner falls
with a heavily hackled variant style fly over the choppier stretches....oh,
and use a 3x leader, the hits will be very hard!
