Brown Stripped Peacock Mayfly- Dry Fly Fish Idaho
|
|
One of the great summer time hatches that come off in Idaho are the mahogany and march brown mayflies. To match these hatches, Dry Fly Innovations has tied up a masterpiece in the Brown Stripped Peacock Mayfly. The Brown Stripped Peacock is an awesome summer time fly that can be effectively dry fly fished throughout Idaho. The real beauty of the Brown Stripped Peacock is it was created to imitate all large brown mayflies that would be hatching. With this being said, as long as there are brown mayflies hatching you can tie on a Brown Stripped Peacock and catch fish. The Brown Stripped Peacock is primarily dry fly fished on low elevation rivers, but it can also be dry fly fished in Idaho high mountains as long as there are brown mayflies hatching.
Dry Fly Innovations ties the Brown Stripped Peacock in two sizes (#16/#14) and two wing styles (clear/quill). The Brown Stripped Peacock comes equipped with a peacock hurl body, which gives this fly a gorgeous striated body that matches the real mayfly in the wild. You can dry fly fish Idaho with the Brown Stripped Peacock Mayfly and catch all species of trout. Like the previous blogs about Dry Fly Innovations mayflies, the rule of thumb with dry fly fishing two styles of wings is in the shade (overcast, evening) quill wing is your choice. If it is a beautiful sunny day than strap on the Brown Stripped Peacock clear wing and get ready to rumble. If you are coming to dry fly fish Idaho in the summer seasons make sure you are properly equipped to catch fish and have a couple Brown Stripped Peacock Mayflies in your box.
