March Brown Spider fly pattern - Wet Flies emerger image

Description

The March Brown Spider is a traditional wet fly originating from Northern England, specifically tied to the heritage of early fly-fishing in the Yorkshire and Border regions. It was designed by 19th-century anglers like James Baillie to imitate the March Brown mayfly

Pro Tip

Cast the March Brown Spider slightly upstream and let it swing across the current. This imitates a struggling or emerging insect, often provoking aggressive strikes from feeding trout.
