Hippy Stomper, Grillos'

Andrew Grillos has a way with foam....and a disdain for hippies, apparently.  Great high country pattern or dry-dropper top.  Far stealthier than a Chub, works on moving and still water.  Getchasome. "The Humpy has always been one of my favorite general attractor dries. It’s easy to see and floats well, which are two of my biggest criteria for most of my “guiding flies.” I’ve always thought that there’s no point in fishing flies that you can’t see and I really get frustrated when flies fall apart after only a couple fish. I guess that explains why so many of my flies are big foam dries! I began playing with the earliest versions of this fly while guiding in South America a few years back. The fish were not picky at all and liked giant foam flies so I tied up a few foam and synthetic Humpy-inspired flies on size 2/0 light wire salmon hooks. The fish loved the flies and I had a blast watching my anglers fish them. Once I got back to the US I sort of forgot about the giant foam Humpy idea
