Best Humpy I've seen on RUclips! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent when tied on small light weight doubles.
I was so frustrated with this fly,until I saw this video! Thank you for all inspiring patterns,and videos. God bless you.
You are so welcome Hagen!
I love watching you tie. You are definitely one of the tiers I look up to and am inspired by.
Wow, thank you!
Barry I have probably commented before, but I wanted to update you and your awesome Subscribers, incase there are those who have still not tried this pattern.
I have been tying for a very long time and I am embarrassed to say there are still a few patterns I don't like to tie, this being amongst one of them, I used to swallow my pride and buy them! 😱😱
So, last night, after watching this video for the sixth time, I started tying these on a #16 and I am totally sold on this method! I am a bit slow but I don't tie commercially anymore so as long as I get 18 of every pattern I want I am good.
It was such a good feeling to finally beat this pattern, I kept thinking, "Thank you Barry, Thank you Barry!"
So did I mention his book? Fly Tying Techniques? I paid $34.95 Canadian for a book worth at least twice that.
Barry, tying on the wing seperately was a stroke of genius sir!
Thanks Kerry, so pleased for you, the Humpy is a fidgety pattern to master! And so pleased that you are getting on with the book.
Yes, I've seen other tutorials and this was the only one where wings were tied separately and I said to myself "this time Barry has chosen the wrong way". After having tied a few myself I had to admit that he was the only right and all the others are wrong. Please Barry forgive my arrogance 😄
Barry every once in a while, i come across a pattern that is so perfect, i want to spend time alone with it, over a candlelit dinner, soft music and a container of Mucilin.......sigh! Ill be back in a bit! 😁😁
Thanks Kerry.
Absolutely amazing!!! I always enjoy watching the patterns come together without my sausage fingers being in the way.
Thanks Randy.
Superb job Barry!! Congrats!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
I have never had any luck with these worm patterns “ haven’t used them that much either “ this one might be the ticket
Thanks Tony.
Very good explanation. I often reference your books for more insight. Thank You from Pennsylvania.
Awesome, thank you Scott!
I never thought of using varnish. I'll have to try it. Thank you for the great video's
このクラシックパターンは自分の基本！今は化学繊維が主流になりつつあるが、デザインではこれが好きです♪

Mr. Clarke I have your book Feather Benders and your videos and the book are improving my skills tremendously. Thank you
Wonderful! Good luck with it Todd.
Another perfect ty!! Thank you for sharing!! Tight lines🐜🪰🦗!!!!!!
Thank you.
You made that much easier to follow. Excellent presentation.
Thanks Kelly.
Good looking pattern. I have not yet attempted any fur patterns. I got my material in today to get started. This is going to be my first fur pattern. That's for sharing this pattern with us.
Hi Mike, excellent, please let me know how you get on.
I know it is a pain to get the pattern tied as it originally was, but now that I have learned the proportions, and as long as I have long enough deer hair, it is easier to do it the old way for me. If I had not been completely frustrated until I learned to tie them, and was determined to learn to proportion the fly correctly, this method would have saved me from all that but it was too late. All the best to you, Sean
beautiful fly!
Thanks a lot!
I haven’t tied a humpy in years , but the way you tie seems much easier than how I did it . A great fast water fly .
Give it a go and let me know how you get on with it...
A very nice wing, my friend! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great Video!
thanks.. great fly
Thanks for watching!
Excellent job!! 😎
Thanks Mark.
Thx for video!
This fly in red is my favorite with lighter deer fur for the top fly with a red copper john barr emerger dropper in autumn for brown trout...its about 50/50 as to which fly gets the take...
Red seems to be a favorite color for our brown trout in Colorado..
I put a bit of uv behind the wings before the hackle goes on for durability...
Thanks for sharing your technique
It's one of the reasons Royal coachman and royal Wuffe have been popular so long. I have a red variant for about every fly I tie. Red good.
Another excellent video, when I started tying the Humpy it was called a Goofus Bug, thankfully that name fell by the wayside and we stick with Humpy. I also learned to tie it with the "hump" being constructed by tying in long enough hair to make the hump and the wings with one long bunch. I like your method, and the next time I tie Goofus Bugs I will try yours.
Hi John, thanks. Yeah I remember the Goofus bug! I also began tying it with hump wings and I remember how difficult it was the first time I tried to tie it that way, I think I must have struggled for days to get the proportions right... This is a method I devised, maybe a little out of frustration, but mostly for practicality, as it is a great fishing fly!
@@Thefeatherbender It is a great fishing fly, orange and lime green. It floats like a cork in the rough western US waters I fish and is irresistible to west slope cutthroat.
Thanks a lot! Use to tie the Humpy with deer on the back. Moose is a better material. Love it 👏
Both ways work well. Thanks.
I fish the hump more than any other fly and have tied hundreds of them in different sizes and colors and this is the most convoluted tie of the fly that I have ever seen. There are far simpler and effective ways of putting this fly together
Good for you Leslie, I'd love to see the video please!
@@Thefeatherbender the Book of Fly Patterns by Eric Keiser pages 42 and 44 published 1987
@@leslieleibbrandt5195 Great book, I have a signed copy. Thats the traditional method, I'm up to speed with that one thanks.
@@Thefeatherbender I now use masking tape to hold the tail down b4 I add the deer hair body and the split the ears and tape them b4 I do the hackle. This keeps the hair in place and under control 😌 a bit like mousse for us
Looks very involved but I’m gonna give it a go. Great video
Hi Mike, you won't know unless you give it a go! Good luck.
Love it
Thank you Rocky.
I use a heavier thread for tying the deer hair on, once it's split into the wings I whip and cement it, then restart with the regular finer thread, goes faster and allows for a tighter pull.
Hi Brian, yeah thats a good method, I tend to use only Dyneema 55 for all my deer hair work. It's 14/0 and you can pull a car with it.
@@Thefeatherbender The only Dyneema thread you can find here is for sails and it's in the 4mm thick so it's a bit heavier than I need, been trying to find a source online but, no luck so far. Bad thing about Florida is all the tying stuff is for huge saaltwater fly's.
Although flashabou is common as dirt, LOL
Brian, you can also use GSP thread thats available just about everywhere now! Dyneema is a GSP.
@@Thefeatherbender Thanks! , the only problem is the closest place that carries it to me is Boca Raton 3hours and 55 mins with no traffic away, and florida traffic is a nightmare at the best of times. So I am going to try to get an online order going, {I use mostly cash so I don't over extend my income, {The VA is not exactly free with the cash}. LOL Thanks though.
😃😃😃😃😃!
Five Smiles
Thank you Robert.
And a small piece of advice for inexperienced tiers who want to learn but have a limited materials supply, can use embroidery thread as a floss substitute, about a third the cost at most, and comes in enough quantity to tie a jillion fly's.
Nice, thanks Brian.
@@Thefeatherbender I still use it for some ties, some of the shinier one's when coated with uv res, get that sweet deep translucency that I haven't found in any of the regular flosses. Have also found some cut into short lengths make great dubbing when combed a bit.
but other than that, it's a nice pattern. I only said what I did is it makes it difficult to tie in the hackle without crowding the eye. It's a good fly though, it'll catch fish.
This is the best Humpy tying video I've seen. Great job, very tidy on every step makes a perfect fly. The hackle you were using I have not seen before, can you tell me the color's name and what producer it came from.
Hi, Its a Badger saddle hackle from Whiting.
Okay Barry! I'm going to watch this! I need to tie #16 Humpys with fingers the size of speculums! But I'm going to do it Barry, challenge accepted! 😁
What type of floss are you using? Thanks again!
Good luck with them, let me know how you get on.
Great flytying
I agree it is easier, it doesn't look like a traditional humpy but probably fishes the same. I love your tying, and particularly your vise. I have the same one. I was disappointed the lower clamp top came off the vise and I have never found it. It still tightens up into wood but it has to dig in the wood. I have tried several times to explain to Petitjean's website what is broken. No luck. Could be a language issue as I am sure Marc doesn't answer those inquiries. All the best to you. Sean
Hi Sean, and thanks. Is it the small round black plastic foot on top of the C clamp screw you have lost? If so I can let Marc know and get you one.
Yes it is the small black plastic foot on the clamp that has been lost. I have no idea why but I put it away and when I took it out again from the original bag the foot was missing. All the best and thanks for communicating my problem to Marc. Sincerely, Sean M. Mooney
Hi Sean, I received an e mail from Marc today that it was sent to me yesterday so i'll let you know when it arrives and get your postal address.
I don't know how I will ever thank you. I will however, reimburse you for the postage.
Hi Sean I have received the C clamp foot from Marc today so you could send me your postal address please on an e mail barrycl@online.no
I must say it’s very interesting to compare ur humpy with other great Great Fly Tiers, ur's seems to expose much more of the under body and minimize the Elk/Deer/Moose hair. I will have to inform my wife that I have seriously important business to attend to on the river/lake comparing your Humpy with others, thanks for the home work!
Hi Dave, thanks. Well we all have different styles. When I tie a pattern that many tyers find "difficult" I look at the technique and materials and try to make it quicker and easier to tie without compromising the original design too much.
A+
Very easy method to tie a somewhat complex fly. BTW - what bobbin are you using?
Thanks Bob, I am using the Marc Petitjean TT bobbin, you either love them or hate them, I love them...
Hi Barry. Could you let me know what you regard as the best cape/saddle to suit larger dries, in size 10. I'm finding it very hard to get a cape/saddle with enough hackles to suit a size 10 and with enough stiffness in the fibre. I recently bought a few Euro Saddles and had the above problem, more like a Grade 2 Metz saddle in fibre softness than an outfight dry fly hackle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wonderful tying Sir. Subscribed.
Hi Slick, It's always a problem if you are tying larger dry's in the 8 and 10 size range to find appropriate hackle of a decent quality. I have found the that the American whole saddle from Whiting to offer the best range of larger stiff dry fly hackle, failing that Whiting bronze capes and Whiting pro grade, but you have to forget buying on the net you should really examine them first hand to make the best purchase.
The feather bender thanks for the info. I've recently moved from Ireland to Canada and finding it quiet hard to obtain decent materials pertinent to the flies I need for customers back home, as most online shops over here tailor to tiers fishing streamers, Salmon patterns etc. The reason I want the large, stiff hackles is for big Mayflies for lough fishing. The technique back home is the cast to a rising fish from a drifting boat and then drag the dry fly back in short bursts which nearly always provokes a positive response. Seldom does a static fly work. The trouble with this is, on the big loughs there's always a medium to large wave rolling hence the need for the stiffer hackle to aid with keeping the fly 'up' on the retrieve. Perhaps you'd be good enough, next time your replenishing your stocks, to let me know where/which supplier has what I need and I can then order from there. That would be greatly appreciated.
What kind/size thread are you using?
Hi Eric, I am using DYNEEMA 50 from Veniard. You can see my video on DYNEEMA pros and cons for more info. ruclips.net/video/FkO2Z4MwBAk/видео.html
Excellent video - would it be possible to list the materials you've used? I got most from the video but what is the hump material?
Hi Bob, the hump and tail material is moose body hair.
Hello,
i saw you are using floss in many of your patterns. Your floss seem to have a nice shine on it. What kind of floss are you using? Do you have a brand recommendation?
Also have to say i really like your Vids, the inspire me to tie some more classical patterns. They won´t be my "every fishing day fly", but love to have some of those pieces of art in my box. And one day will be the day i spot a nice trout and present one of those flies to it.
Hi FF, thanks good to hear you are enjoying the videos. The floss i use is pure silk, heres a link: www.54deanstreet.com/en/79-pure-silk
Can you use comparadun for the wing. Thank you for sharing your tying expertise with us .
Hi Aaron, comparadun is a style of fly not a material but some companies market some deer hair as comparadun hair. This hair is normally a little short for what you need hear.
Ok Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Just curious. Instead of hackle could one use cdc ?
Hi Leonard, just a CDC hackle on it's own may not work, the fly would ride very low on the surface.
Fiddly but a great fly. Don't know what it represents but the fish love them. I believe it was originally tied to represent a fly called a goofus bug. We don't have them in the UK but nobody seems to have told the fish. I like your method its a bit easier than the original and it looks better.
Hi Bob, thanks. The goofus bug is really same fly, different name, but they are both "may flies" but also great attractor patterns, that would say that, to the trout they look like food..
Hi please can you tell me the corre t name of the mixed hackles? Thank you!
Hi Alessio, traditionally you use two hackles, one brown and one grizzle. You can also use a Cree hackle that is a mixture of both and is also known as install Adams.
Thank a lot
@@Thefeatherbender thank you!
What stream is this you had a great day
Hi Daniel, sorry I don't understand your question.
Or perhaps both.
Maybe thats the answer! Give it a go.
HOLA BARRY ME ENCANTA COMO MONTAS , UN SALUDO
Gracias Diego.
I'd really like to know the reasons of those who disliked this video
Andrea Annibali agreed. I love the patter always and instruction. He is amazing.
Any of Barry's videos! Every one of them have thumbs down. Why? Because there are people who run around Facebook hitting the thumbs down for no good reason. Small minded bored people. Would be nice if they actually explained their rationale.
Beautiful fly, but this tying is way more complicated than it needs to be.
Thanks, just another way of doing it...
I like the pattern, but one thing I don't like about the way it was tied in the beginning with the wings is they are too close to the eye of the hook
Hi Tyler, Thanks, yeah we all have our own style of tying this has worked for me for over 30 years now, and always room for the hackle... But I will try tying the wings further back as you suggest and see how it works for me, always room for improvement!
The feather bender trying new things always helps! I love your fly though. It's a master piece. haha. I tie the yellow humpy a different way and it it isn't an easy fly regardless of how you tie it bit yours is beautiful nonetheless.
The feather bender I hope my comment didn't seem to critical or rude. it was just a mere opinion. I tie mine Catskill style which was probably why I thought the wings were a little close to the eye initially
Hi Tyler, no not at all, It's always good to get creative criticism, its what makes us better!
