Description
The Humpy, originally known as the "Horner Deer Hair," was developed by Jack Horner in the 1940s to tackle the swift rivers of Northern California. This buoyant dry fly serves as a general attractor, effectively imitating various insects such as mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies. Its robust construction and high-floating design make it particularly effective in fast-water conditions
Pro Tip
Adjust Color and Size: By varying the color and size of the Humpy, you can mimic different insects. For instance, a yellow Humpy can represent Yellow Sallies, while a green one can imitate green drakes.
