    ya, welcome. ask the questions and we'll try to help you out. don't stray too far from the fly fishing boards with questions. lots of trolls out there.

    Your local fly shop, whatever that may be, should have a general hatch chart for the waters in your area.  As long as you get the wing style right -- sailboat vs. tent; the color close -- dark vs. light; and the size even closer -- a #14 will not do if they are feeding on # 18 (or #16 for that matter).  You should be okay.  While it is nice to know the genus and species and all that fun stuff, it isn't really necessary.  Even the UFA has a Latin name for those that insist that you be able to determine a Ephemerella Invaria Rotunda from a Ephemerella Dorothea and that would be erectus masterbatus maximus.
