March Brown Life Cycle Selection, March Brown Nymph, March Brown Dry Fly, 19 March Brown Flies

March Brown Life Cycle Selection — 19 Flies

A complete selection of March Brown patterns covering the hatch from nymph to emerger, adult, and spinner. Selected by Capt. Ken Tutalo for fishing the Upper Delaware River and other productive trout waters.

March Brown hatches can bring some excellent dry-fly opportunities, but successful fishing often means being prepared for more than just the adult mayfly. This 19-fly selection includes the different stages of the March Brown life cycle, giving you options for trout feeding below the surface, emerging in the film, or taking adult insects on top

Put together by Capt. Ken Tutalo, this assortment includes custom and traditional patterns used by the Baxter House guides on the water.

Why We Fish It

Trout don't feed on just one stage of a hatch. They may take nymphs before emergence, emerging insects in the surface film, adult duns, or spent spinners later in the hatch. Having the complete progression in your fly box lets you adjust to what the fish are actually eating.

When to Fish It

Use this selection during March Brown activity and throughout the stages of the hatch. It is particularly useful when trout are feeding selectively and changing their focus as the hatch develops.

How to Fish It

Start by observing the fish and the insects on the water. Fish the nymphs below the surface when trout are feeding subsurface, switch to sunken emergers or cripples as insects move toward the surface, and use the dry flies when trout begin taking adult mayflies. When spent insects appear, change to a spinner.

Baxter House Guide Tip

Don't get locked into fishing dry flies just because March Browns are present. Watch the trout. If you aren't seeing consistent rises, they may be feeding on nymphs or emerging insects below the surface. Having several stages of the hatch available is a major advantage.
