This version of the March Brown Spider is from Dave Hughes "Essential Trout Flies" and originally came from Sylvester Nemes' "Soft Hackle Fly" from 1975. This is a great mayfly soft hackle when the March Brown's are hatching, or even when there is no hatch and you need an effective searching pattern.
Hook: #10-16 1x long wet fly
Thread: Brown or rusty orange
Rib: Gold oval tinsel, medium
Body: Hare's mask mixed with sparkle yarn
Hackle: Brown partridge

Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading at least three new videos a week (usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tying tips you would like to share or if you have any patterns you would like to see tied here.
