Humpy - Umpqua Fly
Details
Few flies have the reputation and legacy that the Humpy has built over the years. This high floating, durable, very visible fly, is built to fish rough tumbling waters. The Humpy does a wonderful job of imitating nothing and yet it looks enough like everything else to work all the time as a caddis, mayfly, terrestrial, midge cluster, and stonefly. One should never go out onto the water without these great flies.
All Umpqua flies are tied on Tiemco Hooks. These top quality Japanese hooks are tempered and forged for strength and chemically sharpened.
