Day Fifteen: March Brown

Timeless:
This is one of those patterns I hate to tie. The wing sucks! Here I have used Turkey instead of the original Hen Pheasant. I don’t know if it really matters, but it’s all I could find in the mess on a tying table.
I once brought some very nice tied March Browns, the only problem being they seemed to catch more fish after the wing had almost worn away. Money well spent, I think not. The rough and ready home ties seem to do just as well.
