Insect Life Cycle Fly Selection - March Brown
This is an important Early Season Mayfly for the East and Midwest Regions
|
This Selection of the American March Brown represents yet another Superhatch aquatic insect. The American March Brown imitates species from the Scientific Family Heptageniidae and the ever important Genus: Stenonema. Within this Genus you will find not only the American March Brown (S. vicarium) but also the Gray Fox (S. Ithaca), Light Cahill (S. pulchellum & S. Ithaca) and Cream Cahill (S. modestum, and others). Stenonema is an important Genus in the East and Midwest that produces hatches from mid-May all the way until mid-September encompassing most of its individual species. The American March Brown is the early emerger of the group with a hatch cycle that runs from mid-May until mid-July. In early spring, Hatch activity usually takes place from noon to early afternoon with a temperature trigger of around 55 degrees. Prior to emergence Stenonema nymphs migrate from their moderately fast water environments to near by slower stretches of stream. When choosing dun patterns remember that as the season progresses from spring to early fall, Stenonema duns become lighter in color and progressively smaller in size. In this Selection you will find three each March Brown Duns sizes 12 & 14, Parachute Duns sizes 12 & 14, Spinners sizes 12 & 14 Nymphs sizes 12 & 14 and an Emerger size 14.
