That looks nice and busy

Interesting to contrast it with the March Brown flyfishwithme put up earlier, adding still more weight to the case that there must be more interpretations of the March Brown than any other fly!

Tasty looking fly, Ruard! I love the plump little body. Beautiful tying, as aways.

Ruard,
The brown, well marked partridge is really what sets this pattern apart. Very well done in both selection of materials and in the beautiful way you bring them together. Got any other patterns in mind?
Yours,
Dougsden

Ruard, its hard to beat partridge. Nice flymph. It's been some time since i've looked into the comparisons, but from the look of your fly, your march browns must look a lot like ours. Do you have a pic of the natural? or a link?

Hi William,

We don't have rivers here in Holland so we are completly dependend from the pictures from others. I have the book of John Goddard (Trout flies of Britain and Europe) and he tells there are March Browns in the middle of Germany and in May we go there to fish one week on a river.
I did make some dubbing from a zonkerstrip possum, a fine golden rib, a brown hackle and there was the March Brown. Hope the trouts in Germany agree with me.
