Humpy
The Humpy is an indestructible attractor dry fly built for fast pocket water. Its deer or elk hair shellback and overbody create a nearly unsinkable profile that doubles as a perfect dry-dropper indicator. It suggests stoneflies, caddis, and any large insect on the surface.

Fishing tips
A pocket water specialist. Fish it in turbulent riffles and runs where other dry flies get drowned. Makes an excellent indicator fly for a dropper nymph.
