March Brown

Clone

The March Brown imitates Rhithrogena morrisoni, one of the first significant mayfly hatches of the season in western rivers. Its mottled brown wings and reddish-brown body accurately represent this early-season mayfly that triggers some of the year's most enthusiastic dry fly feeding.
