How to tie Terry Bromwell's March Brown Dry Fly

An unashamed steal from the fly box of Terry Bromwell. A phenomenal anglers whose achievements speak for themselves. Not only a great angler but a more than decent fly tier, I hope I have done his pattern justice. Its relatively easy tie, the only caution I would offer is it is essential to get the proportions correct.
I would have no hesitation to tie this on when the March browns start coming down the river.

Great looking March Brown emerger pattern. Love the CDC , FOAM, CDL tail combination! It's going to be the first fly I fish this spring! Should be good tied as a BWO for fall fishing in Michigan too! ;) Thanks for sharing!🙏🙏😎😎😎

Very welcome pal, this came from one of this countries best anglers. Definitely worth having a few.

Nice one Lindsay great whip finish

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Tom.

The dark foam as a shellback was a touch of genius. More durable than pheasant tail fibres and with the bonus extra buoyancy

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Terry is one of the best River anglers I have ever met.

[@robertalexander7286]

Another great fly, thanks.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

You bet

[@markward7320]

Another useful fly tied well mate.
Love the running commentaries bud. You make the wee tutorials so much more enjoyable.
And a whip finish as well...doesn't get better than this.
Lol

[@lindsayiflyfish]

[@richarddvll]

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Richard, not sure the tool will last, we'll see.

[@genehughes5036]

Nice one Lindsay- whip finishing is spot on - it’s one of the things I can do well LOL

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I am getting to grips with it Gene, many thanks.

[@primal_aperture_photo]

Nice fly pattern, I'll give it a try on the stillwater in spring. You're really getting the hang of that whip finisher! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Pal.

[@scotsmaninthephilippines1659]

Lindsay, as an expat scot, I don't know if I watch your channel for the fly tying, which bybtgevwaybinthink is grand, or just to hear your accent!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Must be the later, as I am still trying to learn to tie flies....lol

[@lentrim5444]

Great fly. Definitely tie up a few. Who knows I may get to use them next year.Haha!
Funny enough I am tying off with a half hitch and then practising using my fingers for the whip finish. No easy.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I have spent quite a lot of time just tying lately and the whip finish tool is really coming together. Still not convinced it's any better than what I was doing before. Going to stick with it though.

Got a link for the foam your using

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi James here you go pal, www.upavonflyfishing.co.uk/

[@upavonflyfishing3605]

Foam sheets available from our website www.upavonflyfishing.co.uk thanks Lindsay, well done on the whip finish 👏🏻

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Ben took more effort than I imagined.

[@ghart91]

Hey Lindsay, here is a whip finish tool you might like. You can get it at www.castersonlineflyshop.com/daniel-wilmers-whip-finisher/. There are some videos on how to use it. It’s a touch bit different but I think easier to use. Let me know what you think.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

And here I thought I had tried them all....lol. Looks nice Gary but I am going to stick with what I have. Thanks for sharing though it may suit some other tiers.

[@duderoony]

BINGO! One whip finish! You’re getting there. Thanks for another one dude.
ps..... as I mentioned in a previous comment, when the head shape and size is somewhat important, with the finishing tool, you can get the head just where you want/need it to be. Stick with it dude. You’ll be glad you did 😊.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I would not say I am converted but getting more used to it.

[@fliesbychris]

Well done Mr whipfinish!!
Nice pattern Lindsay.
Check out the Dahle cutcat to cut your foam strips, I stole my wife's and it's really neat and tidy, I can go down to 2mm width without any problem.
Stay safe and sane!!
ATB Chris

[@lindsayiflyfish]

You got a link to that gadget Chris?

[@fliesbychris]
