Willow flies are a colloquial name for Mayflies. They can have large hatches that usually last only a few days, with some species actually living for 1 day as an adult. They make excellent panfish bait, and both the nymph and adult phase are commonly copied by fly fishing enthusiasts. The lake you fish (TN River) is full of nice walleye, I think the majority of them just live in the headwaters. I have put a boat in above Neyland Stadium and caught the toothy critters up near the Island Home airport and the Forks of the Rivers. Good luck up North!
