    Default Good Mayfly Pattern?

    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

    Hi 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,

    I am very familiar with the lake. If you have not already done so be sure to check out the CDA River in the Beaver Work Center area after the road is clear of snow. Take care & ...
