If you are looking for a versatile soft hackle pattern, the March Brown Spider is a great option. The hare's ear body and tinsel rib give it real a buggy look which can be used to imitate specific insects like March Browns, Drake Mackerels, and Hydropsyche caddis. It also makes a great searching pattern, and if you are looking for a generic fly to swing when no hatches are present, this is an excellent choice.
