March Brown

With minor changes to the wing color or body, you can imitate just about any mayfly emerger decently with this pattern.
It seems the simpler the pattern sometimes, the more effective it is. This fly is no exception and its three material simplicity makes it easy to create variations by adding legs, flash materials and different colored dubbings leaving you with a recipe that you can use time and time again to fill up boxes of patterns with. The simple and effective profile fools trout anywhere and is a good and affordable option for tying mayfly emergers.
The best way to fish an emerger in my opinion is as the 2nd fly in a 2-fly dry fly rig. If we are fishing a march brown hatch for example, a march brown dry fly and this march brown emerger behing id 24- 36 inches is a great combination and often they will take the emerger over the dry and you’ll simply see your dry fly go under like an indicator would. Other times, they’ll take your dry, but either way they are eating a fly you made and tied to the end of your line with anticipation for this fight. Enjoy it!
