EPHORON - FOTW - Jan 27, 2014

EPHORON
The Ephoron hatch in Michigan takes place in the latter part of August and runs through September. Here in Michigan we have both species of the insect. It is one of my all-time favorite hatches. I have seen hatches so heavy that you would think you're in the middle of a snow blizzard. It's normally the last hatch I fish ? come September I usually hang up the rod and pull out the typewriter. As a fly tyer, the biggest problem I've always found is trying to duplicate the color of the Ephoron. No matter how hard I try ? I just can't develop a pattern that is white enough. The pattern I present to you today fits the bill!
