In this video, Simon connects a terrific March Brown Soft Hackle. Swinging soft hackles is a long forgotten art in the trout world. With the increase of euro nymphing, dry droppers, drop shotting, and so on swinging traditional wets is in some cases viewed as a distant memory. Wet flies are exceptionally flexible, and specifically crucial for the March Brown hatch. Fish type in on rising mayflies throughout every hatch, however for the March Brown hatch, specifically it is necessary. March Browns can in fact shed their nymphal shuck subsurface as they are rising to the surface area. This implies that in some cases their susceptible state is in fact on their method up rather than in the surface area movie like numerous other mayflies. For this factor, swinging a damp fly is a wonderful method to capture fish throughout the March Brown hatch. Fish this fly solo, tag it behind a much heavier nymph, or utilize it as your point fly on a sign or euro rig and let the flies swing at the end of your drift. Connecting some and leaving out the covert bead is helpful when fish are consuming on the surface area. On slower days, or before the hatch remains in full speed, the beaded variations are fantastic. This pattern can be modified for various hatches to match your requirements. Have a good time out there!
