Silvey's Soft Serve

Silvey's Soft Serve Bead March Brown, designed by fly tier Brian Silvey, is a modern wet fly pattern crafted to imitate the March Brown mayfly during its emergence. This pattern incorporates a concealed bead within the thorax, allowing the fly to sink effectively while maintaining a natural profile. The soft hackle provides lifelike movement, making it particularly effective during spring hatches when March Browns are prevalent.

Swinging in Riffles and Tailouts: Fish this fly on a downstream swing through riffles and tailouts where trout often position themselves to intercept emerging mayflies. The added weight helps the fly stay in the strike zone, and the soft hackle simulates the movement of an emerging insect.
