Description

The Humpy fly pattern is a classic and highly effective dry fly used in fly fishing, particularly for trout in fast-moving rivers and streams. Originally designed as an attractor pattern, the Humpy doesn’t imitate a specific insect but resembles a variety of terrestrial bugs or high-floating mayflies, making it a versatile choice in many fishing situations.

Its distinctive features include a bushy, hump-shaped body made from deer hair, a robust hackle for added flotation, and a wing that helps improve visibility for both the angler and the fish. The body is usually tied in bright or natural colors like red, yellow, or green, allowing it to stand out on turbulent water surfaces.

Known for its excellent buoyancy and durability, the Humpy rides high on the water, making it perfect for riffles, pocket water, and rough currents. It’s a go-to fly when visibility and flotation are needed most, especially in Western trout streams
