The summer hatches of the American March Browns typically take place around the middle part of the day. The hatches earlier in the year and in the fall are usually in the mid to late afternoon.

You should typically try the emerging March Brown flies or nymph versions prior to using the dun imitations, as the trout will frequently take the emergers when they ignore the duns. This is dictated by the individual stream, the species of insects, and the time of year. Try the emergers fished low in the water column in the cold water typical of the early part of the fishing season. As the season progresses, fish the emergers near the surface.

Presentation:

Fish the emerger as a dead drift using an on the swing type presentation, in slow moving, calm water near fast water. This is because the nymphs will make their way to the slower water from their fast water homes. Use a short up and across cast. Target the current seams where fast water meets slow, working your way upstream. Note that the hatches are not scattered and not necessarily close to one another.
