the flies used in T&S were my patterns but i cant claim to making the fly, the jingler is an old tweed for olives, my olive dressing is size 12 or 14 hook, red game fibres for tail, primrose silk thread pulled through coblers wax for body, three or four turns of red game for hackle, one turn of grey partridge at the front.
march brown version is size 10 or 12 hook, coq de leon for tail, orvis hare tan fine and dry for body, three or four turns of cree for the hackle, one turn of brown partridge at the front, hope this helps, great flies in april and may,
