Dry Fly Innovations

One of the great summer season attractor patterns that has consistently caught and landed big fish is the Orange Humpy.  Like all Dry Fly Innovations humpy patterns, the Orange Humpy is big, plump, and meaty, with beautiful orange overtones on the abdomen and wings.  The Orange Humpy will float perfectly in the water with the hook down and wing up and because the wing is tied with dyed black elk hair it will float like a cork.  You can effectively dry fly fish Idaho with the Orange Humpy on all low elevation rivers and tail waters throughout the summer fly fishing season.  You could also use the Orange Humpy in the early spring because in Idaho we have an orange stone fly that hatches, which this fly could imitate.

Dry Fly Innovations ties this fly in four sizes (#16, #14, #12, and #10).  While dry fly fishing Idaho with the Orange Humpy you would not be targeting any specific hatch or trying to match any hatch, it is a pure attractor fly that is fished just like a stimulator.  You can effectively catch all species of trout that Idaho has to offer, but the Orange Humpy is not designed to fish at high elevation lakes.  If you are willing to catch big trout while dry fly fishing Idaho, than the Orange Humpy is a great fly to use all throughout the summer seasons.
