In my experience of Fly Fishing for Trout, one of the best rough water dry fly patterns is the Humpy. This fly is an attractor pattern for when a hatch is nowhere to be found. The visibility is great on these flies, and I usually go to one first thing in the morning or if I catch myself on a stream in the twilight hours. I prefer to use a yellow, as I have read many articles proposing that Trout are predisposed to taken flies exhibiting the color yellow. I’m not sure just how this conclusion has come about, but I do know that yellow has caught me more fish. So the next time your out on the stream, light conditions are low, and you’re not really sure what to tie on. Pull this pattern out of your box and get ready for the fish to bite!
