Bright Brown

Note:  This is
one of my family's handed down version of Charles Cotton's Trout Fly patterns
from the 5th edition of the Complete Angler, using newer materials of course.

Bright Brown Fly:

Another March fly, used from the sixteenth of the month, till the tenth of
April.

Body dubbing for which is to be had out of a skinner's lime pits, and using the
hair of an abortive calf (which the lime will turn so bright as to shine like
gold).

Wings made from the feather of a brown hen are best.
