Yellow Humpy

Yellow Humpy

The Yellow Humpy is one of the all time go-to favorites for Western US rivers.  The Humpy is also tied in off shades of yellow, tan, red, lime, and even black.  It is a buoyant attractor pattern that will float well in almost all water conditions.  Although it isn’t used to imitate any particular fly, it definitely  catches fish.  Use it as a starter when there is no apparent hatch occurring.  In larger sizes the Humpy can be used to tow a dropper and in smaller sizes, along the edge of streams in faster current you will see trout coming up to this fly.   I’m sure I have caught more trout on the Yellow Humpy than any other fly.

Get a Riverbox for your favorite river and you will catch fish!
