Into The Mouths Of Trouts


#12 TMC 900BL, mallard flank, rusty/brown dubbing, brown polypro yarn.

I'll stand on the bank and wait for it.  For a short time the march browns will come off in great numbers.  The duns will appear upright and whole, having transformed completely before they break the surface.  The current will quickly consolidate them upon the seams and eddy lines of the river.  Trains of mayflies drift downstream until they disappear up through the air or into the mouths of trouts.
