Ginger Mayfly- Dry Fly Fish Idaho
|
|
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. 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) and in two wing styles (clear/quill). Fish the clear wing in bright sunny conditions and use the quill wing in darker conditions. 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.
