Right on Larry, Chartruse, orange, black floss bodies all work well here on the White Tony

Apparently the most popular colors are red and yellow, but creativity abounds here, and I'll bet that there are a lot of tiers on this list who use other colors for the Humpy body. Try a chartreuse floss, or even orange chenille. How about tinsel. I've tried them all. If you can make room for all the ingredients, you could try a royal humpy. A peacock body is alway a good color.

Try some Humpies with out the wing. I've caught more trout with no wing. Red, green, and yellow are good body colors.

Hi Steve,
Maybe this helps? http://home.planet.nl/~westb001/humpystep-by-step.html For dividing the wings I figure-of-eight them, then I make four wraps up
and four wraps down each of the wings and then post them.
Harry Mason's site has more details:

I am sitting tying these Humpies up,
I am struggling, Dividing the wings is a pain in the butt. Two look real nice, One is fair, the last one looks like it has a wing span of a 747.
The method I am using is the one that you must measure the wings correctly. It is a skill building block, I know. Steve
