The March BrownWritten by Cameron Larsen
Entomologists classify it differently depending on where they are located. For excessively curious, if you are in England you are talking about Rithrogena Germanica, if you are on Battenkill River in Vermont you are talking about Stenonema Vicarium and if you are on Yakima River in Washington you are talking about Rhithrogena morrisoni. Whatever entomologists call it, fly fisherman call it March Brown. Hatching as early as February or as late as June, depending on location and severity of particular winter, it is a big brown mayfly hatch that awakens senses of trout, and rekindles trout fly fisher with their passion. No other mayfly can be quite so anticipated as March Brown. The first major hatch of spring season, it signals end of winter to a fly angler, as much as coming of a local Hickory Farms signals Christmas. The March Brown is one of oldest patterns out there, around since beginning of fly fishing. So it has been that generations of fly angler’s have long awaited dawning of spring, by designing dry fly pattern to fool newly awakened trout.Nymphs: The March Brown Nymph belongs in clinger family of mayfly nymphs. They are found in faster riffles, and can make for great sub-surface fishing in early stages of hatch. There is a March Brown mayfly, that doubles as a great searching pattern as well. Also popular for March Brown hatch is Gold Rib’s Hare’s Ear, and Soft Hackle’s are effective as emerger’s in surface film. As mentioned above March Brown is fairly good sized, use 12-14 nymphs.

I loved being around baseball players when they had something to say that I thought would have a positive impression. Here are some of quotes that I have enjoyed and have inspired me.Bob Gibson “ I owe public one thing - a good performance.” Sandy Koufax “ Pitching is art of instilling fear.” Warren Spahn"A sore arm is like a headache or a toothache. It can make you feel bad, but if you just forget about it and do what you have to do, it will go away. If you really like to pitch and you want to pitch, that's what you'll do."
