March Brown Silver Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly
- Fishing Techniques.
The March Brown Silver Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used in rivers and streams during the early spring months when March Brown mayflies are hatching. To maximise effectiveness, employ a downstream and across presentation, allowing the fly to swing naturally in the current. Use a slow, steady retrieve to mimic the natural drift of an emerging insect. Employ the "Leisenring Lift" technique by raising the rod tip as the fly approaches the end of the swing to imitate an ascending nymph. This fly is particularly effective in riffles and runs where trout are actively feeding.

How does the Turrall March Brown Silver Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The March Brown Silver Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the March Brown mayfly, specifically during its nymphal stage as it emerges to the surface. This fly mimics the mayfly's transition from water to air, a critical moment when the insect is vulnerable. Trout target this stage because the emerging nymphs are easy prey, struggling to break through the water's surface tension. The fly's silver body and winged design replicate the natural shimmer and movement of the mayfly, enticing trout with its lifelike appearance and triggering their instinct to feed.
