South Fork Boise Report 8/17 (Dry Fly Fish Idaho)
|
Wow!! The South Fork (dry fly fish Idaho) is fishing brilliantly right now!! The pink mayflies are coming off in the mid afternoon, dark caddis is popping after sundown and the hopper fishing is awesome between. There’s giant rainbows sipping bugs in the foam lines and riffles; and smacking hoppers off the grass brushes and steep bouldered edges. If you haven’t hit the South Fork of the Boise River (dry fly fish Idaho) lately you should make the run.
We fished the river from 2:00 until dark (8/17/2010) and had a monster day for not only numbers of fish, but size. There were at least three fish over 20” and a few nets full of fish 16-19”. They are fat, feisty, and looking up for the right fly. The pink hatches are #18 (dry fly fish Idaho) in the mid afternoon and #16 (dry fly fish Idaho) at sundown to dark. We caught a few more fish on the Tantalizer Pink Emerger (dry fly fish Idaho) than the adult, but they produced well.

#20 Emperor Caddis Black (Late Evening)
Emperor Series
Our #1 fishing fly for 2009 was the “Emperor” caddis series. We fished this series of flies at all elevations, from May through September and they are truly super flies. We featured the “Emperor” black caddis in a video we shot in the Idaho Wilderness called “Fishing the High Country,” and it took the place of our Black Flying Ant as the #1 fly for alpine lakes. Every place we fished, these flies it put on a show!!!!

#18 Pink Tantalizer (late in the day a #16)
Tantalizer Series
The “Tantalizer” Series of emergers maybe the most significant break through in dry fly fishing in years. This fly has tested magnificently over every species of trout at every elevation. It’s a super fly that was so successful we featured the Pink Tantalizer in a video we shot on the South Fork of the Snake River last fall.

#16 Get Her Done Caddis Green (Early Evening)
"Get Her Done" Series
The “Get Her Done” Caddis Series could be the hottest new patterns on the market today. The days of the elk hair caddis are over once you use this life-like masterpiece. We had phenomenal results in the testing period on these flies and we’ve tied them in all the predominant caddis colors. These flies are a must in your fly box and a game changer on the surface of the water.
