Up Your Game: Jeff Currier’s Three Favorite Spring Flies
Spring fishing conditions in Idaho can be less than forgiving. One day its cold and you want to stay home. The next day it’s in the 50°s and you can’t wait to get out the door. The bottom-line however, is you need to be geared up for either predicament because no matter what the conditions, fish can be caught. You simply need to carry the right flies and get out.

Dry Flies: Pure 9′ 4 weight
A great all-around rod, the 9’ 4 weight PURE is perfect for Western, open river environments when you want a light line to set down dry flies or use a light nymphing set-up. The loop control on this rod is really amazing, you can throw a tight loop or a big loop, you can cast slow or fast – it’s friendly and forgiving and can cast a good distance with no problem. A hopper out of a boat on this rod would be exquisite.

Streamers: Alpha+ 9′ 6 weight
Strikingly light in spite of heavy-duty components, the Alpha+ 9’ 6-weight sits up in your hand and swings like a feather. The rod casts with power, control, line speed and feel from 30 feet to over 90. Pair this rod with an aggressive weight forward line for best results. It throws a Titan Taper, Big Fly Taper, Outbound and Bonefish taper like they were made for each other. A Rio Gold isn’t quite heavy enough to fully engage the rod, however.
