Lance's Jigged X-May March Brown Size 14
I took Mike Mercer’s Micro May and Hogan Brown’s S&M and “X” them to form the X-May. I took the best parts of their flies and added a few of mine. This pattern is designed to fish wherever mayflies are found. A fantastic silhouette, great color combinations with texture and a little flash. We tied these on TMC 3769 hooks for years, but I switched it to the Fulling Mills jig hook last year. I have also added Hot Spot versions, one in Olive and one in Brown. The Olive has a fluorescent orange hot spot and the brown a fluorescent fire engine orange hot spot. That moved the X-May from great to fantastic! Fished using a High Stick (Euro) or dead drift underneath an indicator.
March Browns are all over the West. They live in the Lower Sacramento River. The Maccaffertium Vicarium is the fly that this brown and olive colored X-May represents. A great fly!!
