Hi all,
This weekend I'm going up to a local lake. I've heard the mayflies are hatching very well, but I haven't been tying, or fishing very long so I don't know what type of pattern to use. Can anyone recomend a good pattern? If it helps at all they mayflies are white, and I'm in northern Idaho.
Thanks for any input- David

The FOTW can be tied in any color combination and size you wish. It should work for you. I lived in Sanpoint for about 15 years, where are you located? Good luck on your trip. Take care & ...

Hi David,
