smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 I looked and didn't see a Royal Humpy in the data base, but whether or not there is, this is still one of my favorite dry flies. I hope you enjoy, please tell me what you think of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Brown75 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Al around thats pretty good, you might want to watch crowding the eye on youre hook, the eve area is sacred ground on a fly hook so next time tie in youre hackle a little further back and tie the body a little further back, your doin pretty good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Claudia 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 :thumbup: iv been looking for humphys in the data base, as it is the only deerhair flie i ever tie. i belive you are the first to post one youre humphy rest strait on the tail and hackle like it should. it looks nearly perfect if it was not for some rebel hairs sticking out from the head. if you take a tweeser you can snip of the hairs in the head, if that dont work gently cut them away with a razor blade. Im a bit worry you take this in a bad way, i realy hope Not, because i think you did very well :punk: . Regards Claudia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
