March brown





MARCH BROWN

Hook: antique limerick 
Tag: golden flat tinsel, three rounds
Tail: speckled brown turkey
Body: partridge plumes
Ribbing: antiqur golden twist fromVeniard 
Hackle: two turns of partridge
Wing: light brown speckled turkey
Head: black

Modern version of this old "war horse". This time I played a bit with partidge plumes and used little greyish plume feathers that you can find aside the bigger feathers - feathers that no-one use. They are extremely weak so you really can't turn them on the hook with out breaking them. So, they are tied on using a dubbing loop. This one is a gold ribbed as well as you can see. Cheers!
