In this video, Simon connects a great Jigged March Brown nymph. March Browns are the very first pest of the year which hatches in abduncance that is bigger than Blue Winged Olives. Because of that, they are an essential food source for trout and end up being a spring fishing staple. March Browns come from the clinger household of mayflies. These mayfly nymphs occupy in the much faster water in the river and have flat, aerodynamic bodies that enable them to grip to rocks in quick present feeding on sediment and algae in the present. This time of year, these mayflies have actually completely established dark wing pads on their backs. Their wing pads are dark and bulging with completely established wings inside. For this nymph developing a large, flat profile is essential to imitate these nymphs. Utilizing lead or lead-free wire is a fantastic method to bulk up the width of the nymph. Utilizing cinnamon pointer turkey covered in medium density UV resin is a fantastic method to imitate a fully grown March Brown nymph’s wing case with completely established wings. This fly utilizes elk hair to develop the larger profile towards the head with the “clinging” legs which are particular of clinger mayfly nymphs. The mottled brown bead is suggestive of the nymph’s large head, and helps with getting your fly down deep. This plan works for all mayfly nymphs in the clinger household. Others consist of: Quill Gordon, Pink Quill, Grey Fox, Light Cahill; the majority of these are from areas East people on the West coast. Sizes and colors can be changed appropriately. The March Brown hatch will continue its method greater in elevation as spring advances, so there’s still lots of time to fish these greater up river this spring.
