Brown Midge- Dry Fly Fish Idaho

Friday, January 1, 2010
posted by geoff

If you are looking for a dynamite fly to use in the late fall and early winter seasons than look no further than the Brown Midge.  Do not let the small size of the Brown Midge deceive you; it packs a punch like Mike Tyson on trout.  Midge hatches are what the trout eat to survive in cold seasons when there is no caddis, hoppers, or stone flies.  When dry fly fishing Idaho the most prolific hatch that comes off in the late seasons are brown midges and Dry Fly Innovations has one of the best Brown Midge’s on the market.  The Brown Midge is very easy to fish because it has a white wing that sticks up on top of the water; though it is small in size you will always be able to see the white wing.  You can dry fly fish Idaho at all mountain elevations and on all low elevation rivers with the Brown Midge.  The other important aspect for the Brown Midge is you can fish it on lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks.  The Brown Midge is like having an ace in the whole (your fly box) because at any time you can tie this fly on and catch fish.  The Brown Midge is an all around great universal fly that will land big trout.

Dry Fly Innovations ties the Brown Midge in two sizes (#22 and #20).  The Brown Midge is tied with a peacock curl, which gives this fly an amazing striated body just like what you would see in the real hatch.  You can dry fly fish Idaho with the Brown Midge and catch all species of trout that Idaho has to offer.  I cannot stress it enough about the size of the Brown Midge; it is small but it will land trophy trout out of any lake, river, or stream.  Come dry fly fish Idaho in the late fall early winter and experience one of the greatest phenomena’s in the fly fishing world and that is catching big fish with a tiny Brown Midge.

Ginger Mayfly- Dry Fly Fish Idaho

Friday, January 1, 2010

If you are coming to dry fly fish Idaho in the mid summer fishing season I have the perfect low elevation river fly in the Ginger Mayfly (dry fly fish Idaho).  This is a great fly that has proven itself time and time again from the South Fork of the Boise River, Silver Creek, Big Wood River, and the Owyhee River.  The Ginger Mayfly is a match the hatch type of fly, which means you would only fish this fly when there is a light color mayfly coming off.  The Ginger Mayfly is not intended for use in the high country because there are very few light colored mayflies that come off at that elevation.  When you are dry fly fishing Idaho I would highly recommend you having a couple of Ginger Mayflies in your fly box because you never know in the summer seasons when their will be a light mayfly hatch coming off.

Dry Fly Innovations ties the Ginger Mayfly in two sizes (#18, #16) with a quill wing.   The Ginger Mayfly comes equipped with the standard Dry Fly Innovations single upright wing and the body is spun with stripped peacock, which gives it a beautiful striated body.  You can effectively dry fly fish Idaho on low elevation rivers or streams and it will catch all species of trout that Idaho has to offer.  Come enjoy the Ginger Mayfly this summer and come dry fly fish Idaho, the rivers are calling out your names.
