About the March Brown Trout Fly
The March Brown is one of the first major spring hatches on many UK rivers. When these large mayflies appear on warmer afternoons, trout often feed confidently on the surface.
It is probably the most famous of all British mayflies and is held in very high esteem by fly fishermen throughout the UK and Europe for its proven effectiveness as a general searching pattern.
The March Brown is reputedly a variant of Dame Juliana Berners' Dun Fly of 1496.
