Catskill Style March Brown

I like the look of your fly! You have replaced red fox belly hair with a stripped quill. Brilliant! But I really think you should have retained the mixed cock hackle: brown and grizzly. IMO that's what makes this a fish killer.

 

Your pattern deviates enough from the original that you really ought to consider a new name.

Nice fly. Nice job with the quill taper. It already has a name, I've seen it in Flick or Dette. Can't think of the name either the lateness of the hour or my age. There should be a space between the head and the eye in Catskill tie though.

Hi Guys,

Many thanks for the kind words.

I tied this fly the way that I was taught to tie it both at Fly Tying Lessons and from Davie McPhails videos, however I agree it is not to the original dressing.

Again thanks for the kind words, very encouraging!

Best Regards,
