Golden Humpy- Dry Fly Fish Idaho
|
|
If you are the type of fly fishing enthusiast that likes to throw big patterns at trout in the summer seasons, than I have the perfect fly for you. The Golden Humpy from Dry Fly Innovations is a big, fat, and plump little morsel that trout have a tough time turning down. It comes equipped with an elk hair wing that floats perfect in the water with the hook down and wing up, but the best part is the Golden Humpy floats like a cork. You can dry fly fish Idaho on all lower river elevations, but the Golden Humpy is not intended for the high elevations of Idaho. The Golden Humpy is designed to imitate a few different things in nature, such as a small golden stone, yellow jacket, and a wasp. When you are dry fly fishing Idaho with the Golden Humpy it is used as a stimulator where you are not trying to match any hatches, but luring the big fish from the depths.
Dry Fly Innovations ties this fly in four sizes (#16, #14, #12, and #10). When dry fly fishing Idaho with the Golden Humpy, you will need a bottle of gink or ointment, because it is a hair pattern that requires floatant to fish effectively. The Golden Humpy will catch all species of trout that Idaho has to offer from rainbows, browns, and cutthroats. The Golden Humpy is a great summer season fly, so when you come to dry fly fish Idaho make sure you are packing a few of them in your fly box. You never know when the Golden Humpy just might be your ticket to landing some big Idaho trout!!!
