Adults:

March Brown’s tend to hatch early afternoon, which is nice, since early spring weather can be most brutal fishing weather of year. By afternoon anxious fly fisherman stands a better chance of not being froze off water. Spinner falls happen right at dusk, and usually occur over fast water. A popular technique has fly fisher looking downstream for a back eddy or pool that will hold a congregation of March Brown spinners. This often will result in best March Brown fishing of season.

The Fishing:

Despite their winter hiatus from active feeding trout seem to emerge in Spring a little hesitant. And often times they may be uncharacteristically selective. Since March Brown’s are in faster water, it might be difficult to get a read on what trout are actually doing, if anything. If unsure I usually begin with a soft hackle Hare’s Ear, right below surface and see if fish are hitting emerger. If no action there I will then sink fly or switch to a Beadhead Hare’s Ear. While always looking for some surface action.

When it does start up, be prepared it can be short-lived but well worth effort. Especially early afternoon. And then for intrepid line up your pool or back eddy for very late spinner fall.

Ahh, at last Spring has arrived!
