Best Fly Fishing In Years In Idaho...
"The South Fork is one of the best dry fly rivers in the country."
They say because of all the water we have this year the fishing is amazing.
Some say this year is the best fishing Idaho has had in ten years because of our full lakes and rivers.
"We've had great water conditions...who would have thought fish like
water," said Shaun Lawson, Manager of South Fork Outfitters.
They sure do love the water, especially cool water, thanks to our high water levels.
"When the lakes get drawn down the water temperatures get elevated it
stresses the fish they don't feed as well the hatches."
So now there's more fish, here's my first catch of the day, thanks to my fly.
"What we're trying to do when we're out there fly fishing is we're trying to imitate an insect that's drifting along with the current."
So Shaun and I waded out with these may fly and golden stone flies.
The golden stone is one of the most popular flies and our guide says we might catch something with it.
"Big dry fly. Easy to see. Tied with foam, they float good. It's nice to fish and fly that's an inch long. " "Here's a real golden stone compared to our fake fly, pretty good match. It is a good match, that's one of our most popular flies."
But the fish weren't biting the golden stone, instead we were reeling in the fish with may flies and nymphs.
"The hatch is just getting started, so we had some success kind of going just under the surface today."
I didn't have much success staying on my feet, but I did catch five fish. Everything from the Yellowstone cutthroats, rainbows and hybrids, to a Rocky Mountain white fish.
"The South Fork is one of the best dry fly rivers in the country."
