Mill Creek 8/5 (Dry Fly Fish Idaho)
|
I was born and raised fishing the small tributaries off the Salmon River, and Mill Creek (dry fly fish Idaho) is the classic small mountain stream. It has perfect spawning water for small cutthroat trout. The best you can do is catch a small batch of eating fish to keep their populations under control. The water is crystal clear and the fish are “booey,” so you’re sneaking up and using the brush line to conceal yourself. Short casting to potholes and free-flowing riffles is often a challenge, and snaking the line into small chutes and feeding troughs.
If the presentation is good, you’re generally rewarded with a fat little cutthroat (dry fly fish Idaho) at the end of your line. It’s a really fun type of fishing, even though you’re not landing large fish, but quantity of fish. So we caught our limit of cutthroats (dry fly fish Idaho) and moved on to our next destination–Priest Lake Idaho.

Flies that caught fish:
Black Flying Ant #16
Ants
An enormous percentage of a trout's diet above 6,000 feet is ants. Fish cruise the edges under the canopy in search of these crunchy, high-octane morsels. The four ant patterns displayed are the ultimate weapons in the most prevalent color selections. They have tightly wound oblong body segments, beautifully crafted wings, and present themselves exactly like the natural. They have no deer hair shells over the tail so they are tough and won't fray or break like many commercial flies. You will catch more fish with less refusals using DFI ants!

The most realistic beetle pattern available. It has a peacock belly, a sculptured body, and exactly 6 moose hair legs. DFI beetles are killer flies in almost all waters.
