I have always struggled with this pattern, I tied them in a passable fashion, but the tricks shown here will make for better tied patterns. I love the dam things, late summer with nothing much going on, tossing these in the foam lines will raise trout all day. Youtub has its uses, this is one of the good ones
Really beautiful and simple, I'm going to tie it in the way the video shows. Thanks.
You guys have the best tying videos on youtube. I love how you speed up the camera after you give the instructions
great instructional video. Humpys have always been a bit tricky for me to tie, and get it right, but you make it look so easy. I see where I've been doing it wrong.
thx's
Mike
Great pattern, great fly, very well done!!!
thanks for the videos my guy, without them, i wouldn't be tying near perfect akroyd spey flies with 4 months experience!
Yep, use more thread tension on the moose hair that forms the fly's underbody but back off the tension a little bit when you get out to the base of the tail. Also, moose body hair varies greatly, the stuff that's real hollow all the way out to the tips, is very difficult to deal with. For this pattern, try to find a piece with finer hair.
When I first started fly fishing I asked for some flies for bass and panfish. I got some poppers, streamers, and he handed me a few of these told me to fish them underwater. My go to fly for panfish.
Nice and easy instructions for beginners like me. Thanks and tight lines.
wow ! very nice fly
I seen a lot of tricks and technique (with your explanations)
Many thank's
Pierre
Great tutorial.... and good clean tying.
beautiful imitation.
regards john
Awesome video, would love to see some more streamer or nymph videos, if possible some smaller mayfly or beatis nymphs. And some more footage of you guys actually fishing. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Great video, great fly. Thank you for this.
Nice tying ! I like it !
Best regard from Italy.

Is there much tie flying in Italy?
i tried this pattern it looked pretty good but my only problem is that it wont float so well. what do you think i did wrong?
use floatant
How about a articulated streamer. ( Two Hooks ) Maybe a Kelly Gallop pattern
I went fly fishing In the Catskills. I was using an orange humpy and my guide said that once he had a client who's son took him fishing with him and he caught a trout. when he asked what fly it was on, he was told that it was an orange humpy and he simply couldn't. believe the name.
Tim: Do you ever tie the original version of Humpy, the Horner Deer Hair? It must be as good as or better than the Adirondack Devil Bug, or it wouldn't have evolved into the Humpy. I'd really like to see a program about that fly.
BTW, Bud Lilly seemed to prefer the name "Goofus," instead of Humpy. I always say "Goofus," just as symbolic gesture of respect to Bud Lilly.
Is it absolutely necessary to use both brown and grizzly hackle? Would only grizzly hackle work as well?
Is this an all-season type of fly, or does it work better during certain times of the year? I live in Pennsylvania.
It can be used all year round as an attractor pattern or as an indicator in a dry/dropper rig. I like the yellow particularly during the late spring and early summer when yellow bugs like Sulphurs are around.
How important is material selection for tying? For example in this video you use moose hair for the tail, why do you chose this over elk, deer, or other materials? For a beginner tier can substitutions be made?
The_Real_Wonderbread Material selection is extremely important. Every material has different physical properties that aren't always visible, some float better, others are stiffer, some flair when compressed, others don't. Learning what materials have what properties and how this in turn effects where and when they are used in different fly patterns can take years. For a beginning tier, I would suggest sticking fairly close to the recipe. Also, the Humpy is a difficult pattern even for advanced tiers and requires not only the proper materials but also that those materials be of the highest quality which can be even harder to distinguish. My advice is to stick with a few more basic patterns at first and get very comfortable tying them well before moving on to the more exotic stuff like the Humpy. Hope this helps.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, it helped a lot. Keep up the great work, love all your videos.
@@tightlinevideo what type of elk is this? bleached elk? Hock bleached ?
would this pattern be a good all around pattern for mayflies year round? I'm planning on fishing the Delaware soon and I'm thinking about making somw
tyler morehouse I fish the Delaware somewhat often. It's not that attractors like humpies and stimulators won't work, but it is more of a match the hatch kind of river. The fish are frustratingly picky, and I have most trouble catching fish on this river compared to any other river I have fished. Having a drift boat to cover water exponentially enhances your odds. Good luck, though theres nothing like a west branch skunking!
I caught 4 fish today on an orange humpy
Only fly I use.
If tied in the right color and size would this be a good caddis or stonefly imitation
Toby Mckern Jr. It was originally intended to be a mayfly imitation but it does have many features common to stonefly and caddis patterns so I don't see why it wouldn't work. My advice is always "give it a try".
Thanks during the summer we have mayfly, caddis, stonefly hatching all summer in that order so I would think that the humpy would be a killer fly to imitate all of them instead of tying all kinds of dry flies to imitate them
Toby Mckern Jr. Another pattern to consider would be the Bugmeister as it also does a pretty good job of imitating crickets and hoppers in addition to everything else. I also find it somewhat easier to tie than the Humpy. Adding rubber legs to it really looks good.
+Toby Mckern Jr. Just yesterday i was fishing on my home stream, and the trout were taking grannom caddis like a size 18. (in real broken water) And the only thing I had that looked like the right size and color was a 18 humpy. Worked like a charm. However they were stocked fish, and it was broken water.
I've always thought of this as a Beetle and often cut off the tail on the river
Do you know who Jack Homer was?
I wish you didn’t speed up any of the steps! Makes it easy for a newbie like me to learn!
It's a waste of time splitting the wings with thread. Use the stems of the hackle feathers to split the wing by tying them in front and behind the wing. Moose hair tails are the best!
Not olive 6/0 Danville?! That's not Matt Grobert.
