  • Hook:  Mustad 94840, #12-14
  • Thread:  Danville's Prewaxed 6/0, brown
  • Tail:  brown hackle fibers
  • Ribbing:  loop of the tying thread
  • Body:  beaver dubbing dyed brown
  • Hackle:  brown and grizzly, mixed
  • Wing:  hen pheasant body feather tips
 
There are many good variations of the March Brown pattern. This one uses hen pheasant body feather tips for the wings, providing a nice pattern with all the appropriate colors. Leaving the tips full as I have done here works well, or you can trim/burn the ends to a more realistic wing profile.
