Th...I've always loved to tie Humpies (Humpys?).<br />This pattern has something I would say has 'attitude'. <br /><br />It's also a pattern that has to have perfect proportions to look good: a good thick hump, wing length vs hackle size, good brushy color of hackle and a firm tail.<br /><br />Here's an orange version of the Royal Humpy I tied once:<br />http://www.danica.com/flytier/jlee/royal_dutch_humpy.htm<br /><br />Maybe we can collaborate one day with a few western dry flies? I'll tie them, you paint them and we'll get it framed and sell for a good cause?<br /><br />Take care,<br />Jay<br />(The Netherlands)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280153755488913968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524698786610468130.post-75266756601145382712010-01-16T16:13:40.984-06:002010-01-16T16:13:40.984-06:00This is very niceThis is very niceZach VanDeHeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760469674803152399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524698786610468130.post-8110966245042710722010-01-07T14:39:46.677-06:002010-01-07T14:39:46.677-06:00I really look forward to seeing your color work on...I really look forward to seeing your color work on our next tarpon fly...palette's the limit there!Jason Borgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905384325701246356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524698786610468130.post-21324673952989675512010-01-07T14:18:56.080-06:002010-01-07T14:18:56.080-06:00Another nice piece, my friend!

Just from a point of interest in mind-set, if they made chartreuse charcoal, I'd have run with that on mine. Seeing the two very different takes on these flies is proving interesting, indeed!Jason Borgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905384325701246356noreply@blogger.com
