Black Midge- Dry Fly Fish Idaho
|
|
Does size matter in the fly fishing world? Does it have to be a fly on a hook size of a #10 or #8 in order to land big fish? The answer to both of these questions is no. The Black Midge from Dry Fly Innovations has landed more big fish in all elevations of Idaho. You can dry fly fish Idaho with the Black Midge in all mountain elevations, low elevation rivers, and any stretches of water in between. This fly is universal, but it is very underestimated because it is such a small fly. The Black Midge is small in size but it is easy to fish and it floats quite well with the Z Lon that protrudes out over the eye of the hook. The Black Midge (dry fly fish Idaho) is the perfect imitation of the black midges that hatch in Idaho in the early spring, late fall, and winter. It is a dynamite fly that will land you big trout when you come to dry fly fish Idaho.
Dry Fly Innovations ties the Black Midge in two sizes (#22, #20) and in two wing colors (black/white). When dry fly fishing Idaho with the Black Midge you will want to make sure that there is a midge hatch coming off because this fly is not designed to stimulate fish from the depths. The Black Midge will catch all species of trout that Idaho has to offer from cutthroats in the high country to giant rainbows on the South Fork of the Boise River. Do not underestimate the catching abilities of the Black Midge when you come to dry fly fish Idaho this year.
