Good looking fly, Josh. On his Hiwassee board Don Denney speaks of seeing white mayflies on the Hiwassee this time of year, so I bet they'd do well there.

Is this something you tie to match the Ephron hatch that occurs over the summer? i havent seen a hatch like this down here, but when i use to fish the beaverkill and when i fish the michigan stream up by my parents it is an awesome time to be on the water.

The 'Wite Fly' was designed for the White Flies here in Georgia. Often times, anglers here in NE Georgia find these flies swarming then during the summer and fall months... as well as throughout the entirety of the year.

This fly actually relates to NGTO. B Kar Ma (Mark Crowell) was the inspiration for this fly nearly two years ago. Mark wanted to order flies for this situation, therefore, the 'Wite Fly' was born.
