Versatile streamer pattern, featuring a marabou tail and flashy body for movement and attraction.
The Humungus fly is tied using a short or medium shank hook. The tail is typically formed from marabou feathers, which provide natural movement in the water. The body is made using materials such as chenille, tinsel, or other flashy materials, wrapped around the hook. Some variations may incorporate a bead, cone, or dumbbell eyes to add weight and help the fly reach the desired depth, other variations use big foam eyes to make it look like a small baitfish on the surface. As you'll see from the pattern, it's a little similar to the woolly bugger.
The Humungus fly is designed to imitate small baitfish, leeches or large nymphs, which are common food sources for predatory fish. Its lifelike profile, marabou tail, and flashy body materials make it an effective and enticing pattern for targeting fish that feed on these prey items.
The Humungus fly can be used in various water types, both freshwater and saltwater. As indicated it is used for a wide array of predatory fish, from trout in freshwater to sea bass in saltwater.

You always buy from one fly tyer at a time
When you add a fly or set to your cart, you buy from the fly tyer who tied it. Add as many flies as you like from this fly tyer.
You can not add flies from multiple tyers, because else you would have to pay shipping cost for each one, making your shipping cost very high.
Estimated delivery time is shown in the shopping cart
Some sets and flies can be in stock, others might be tied to order. The item that takes the longest will determine the total time your order will take.
The estimated time your order will take is always shown in the shopping cart before you check out.
