How to Tie a Yellow Humpy

Matt Grobert demonstrates how to tie a Yellow Humpy on a size 12 TMC dry fly hook.  He uses moose and elk body hair, and demonstrates how to use a hair stacker to cut hair to a consistent length.

As videographer Tim Flagler says, “It floats like a cork, imitates a variety of mayfly species, and if nothing else makes one heck of a strike indicator.”

    Very nice tie. It’s always a pleasure to watch someone take hair, feathers and wire, and turn them into an object that is not only a thing of beauty in its own right, but functional as well.
