Dry Fly Innovations

Whenever I am dry fly fishing Idaho I always like to have a few flies that are my aces in the hole, and the Black Humpy is definitely one of them.  The Black Humpy from Dry Fly Innovations is by far one of the best stimulator patterns when trying to fool smart fish.  This fly does not imitate any hatches per say, but it does have striking resemblances to a great terrestrial pattern called the beetle.  You can effectively dry fly fish Idaho with the Black Humpy from the high mountain elevations to the low level rivers.  The Black Humpy is a fat, plump, and meaty morsel that trout just cannot resist.  It has the standard Dry Fly Innovations profile on the water with the hook down and wing up, which makes it float perfect in the water.  The Black Humpy is a great fly to dry fly fish Idaho with all through the summer fishing season and into the early fall.

Dry Fly Innovations ties the Black Humpy in four sizes (#16, #14, #12, and #10).  I mentioned earlier that you can dry fly fish Idaho at all elevations but there is one rule of thumb to this approach.  If you are in the high country of Idaho, I would recommend tying on a #16 or #14, using the smaller sizes will bring you more success.  If you are coming to Idaho to fish the South Fork of the Boise or the Big Wood, I would go with a #12 or #10.  The Black humpy can effectively be fished on lakes, rivers, streams, or creeks, which makes this fly another awesome universal fly that you can have on you at all times.  You can also catch all species of trout that Idaho has to offer with the Black Humpy.  Come have an amazing fly fishing experience with the Black Humpy when you come to dry fly fish Idaho.
