Hogan's Military Mayfly

The Military Mayfly is a small mayfly nymph developed by fly tying mastermind Hogan Brown. The Military Mayfly is most commonly tied in the BWO (Olive) and PMD (Brown) variations, but can be tied in many other color combinations. The Military Mayfly is a little workhorse and gets the job done on many western tailwaters. The Military Mayfly has the right amount of flash, perfect profile and the nice segmentation to top it off. Making it a very "buggy" fly. The Military Mayfly is a must have mayfly pattern in any box. Enjoy!
