Description

The RIO's Dry Humper is a contemporary adaptation of the classic Humpy dry fly, engineered by RIO Products to enhance buoyancy and visibility. This attractor pattern features a spiraled foam belly for added segmentation and a foam shell over the top, ensuring it remains afloat even in turbulent waters. The split poly wing not only provides a buggy appearance but also aids in tracking the fly during drifts

Pro Tip

Clip the bottom hackle: Trimming the underside hackle allows the fly to ride lower in the water, mimicking a natural insect struggling on the surface and increasing its appeal to selective trout.
