Chris Daughters of The Caddis Fly Shop demonstrates how to tie the Sparkle Dun March Brown, a pattern he says is the hottest McKenzie River fly for this hatch. This fly is pretty easy to tie once you have the fanned comparadun wings posted up.

Nice video, Thanks.
Next time, give us a little closer look at the fly so we can pick up details.

Thanks for your comment. That is something we have talked about but forgot the camera for this post. It would take some pretty substantial software to enhance the video resolution to the point where the details show. In the future, we will provide stills of the finished fly. Thanks!
