Riffle-stable March Brown
Trout · GraylingSurface
Parachute-hackle March Brown dun — visible and stable for the spring riffle hatch.
Fish this when
During the spring March Brown hatch on faster, broken riffle water, where a conventionally hackled dry gets swamped or spun off course.
Why it works
The low-riding parachute silhouette and horizontal hackle keep the fly upright and visible through rough water, giving a truer footprint to fish holding tight in the riffle.
