Fordy's Flies - The March Brown Dry Fly HD 1080p

The March Brown Dry Fly:
This is another early season favourite - and can bring fish up in thse chilly days when you wonder if anything is going to come up for a dry at all!
It’s great fished as either a 12 or 14, dependant on the size of the insects hatching on tour local river.
Trim out the under hackle to make it sit more upright in the film - or leave them long and fish it like a crippled insect trapped in the surface layers.
Materials:
Hook: Hanak 130 BL Size 12 or 14
Tying Thread: 8.0 Uni Thread in dark brown
Tail: 3 x pheasant tail fibres
Rib: Cream thread (8.0 Wisp used here)
Wing: 3 x Natural Grey CDC feathers
Hackle: Red or brown cock hackle
Dubbing head: Fox squirrel

how well does this fly float? It doesn't look very buoyant.

It’s got 3xCDC plumes and floats well. Sits in the film, not right on top though.
