Royal Humpy

 

Jack Dennis' signature fly the Royal Humpy:

"It was 1968 when I decided to marry the Humpy and the Royal Wulff at the urging of then Penn state professor Joe Humphrey and his college fellow wrestler Charlie Ridinour they had difficulty seeing the grey hackle Humpy on the Gros Ventre river in Jackson Hole. That August I tied some up and Joe caught the first fish on the new Royal Humpy and the name came from Charlie who guided for me."

Hungry GTs

We all probably have seen this footage from the BBC Blue Planet II. It's still impressive and scary at the same time. Now book a trip at Alphonse in the Seychelles at around $15K a week and experience that big GT on a fly 😎
