Re: Priit's March Browns
A great pattern and those look super!
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: Priit's March Browns
Those look beautiful! Would you please tell me the materials so I can tie some?

Inspired by Rob Smith's YouTube videos using T. E. Pritt's dressings. I didn't have any yellow mohair, so I used yellow wool in the dubbing mix:Fishnkilts wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:53 pm Those look beautiful! Would you please tell me the materials so I can tie some?

Re: Priit's March Browns
Thank you Bob. I have actually been watching Rob Smith's videos lately and even have his book, " The North Country Fly". But I haven't really sat down and read it yet. It's on my "to do this winter" list.joaniebo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:24 amInspired by Rob Smith's YouTube videos using T. E. Pritt's dressings.

Glad the flies got to you ok. I'm a March Brown freak, love to tie and fish them. Enjoy.
