Fly Tying a CDC Humpy with Barry Ord Clarke

A CDC variant for the classic fat boy dry fly Humpy. Here we replace the traditional deer hair hump and wing with a couple of CDC hackles. If you find the original pattern with deer hair challenging, this is a great pattern to practice on, same technique, different material.
Hook: Mustad Heritage R30 # 12
Tying thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Ginger Coq de Leon
Body: Red floss silk
Hump/wings: Two large CDC hackles
Hackle: Brown saddle hackle

I absolutely love watching video tutorials in the morning with my coffee. This one is awesome.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Jimmy, I'm pleased that I can share your morning coffee with you!

Superb tie Barry.

Thank you kindly

[@richardbutts6512]

Awesome again you sure do amaze me with your tying! Thanks! Have a good day!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Richard.

[@newflyrod1]

Nice fly 🪰 certainly keeps you thinking about new ways of tying established patterns. I sometimes wonder what patterns would have been developed by the old masters with modern materials. Thank you for sharing your talents 👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you, yeah always room for variants...

[@Alan-zn5jr]

Great instructional videos, just learning to tie simple effective patterns from your videos. Madame X and a Ant patterns right now. Thank you for your help.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Alan, thanks. If you are just starting may I suggest this, it will take your tying to the next level: www.amazon.com/Flytying-beginners-popular-international-patterns/dp/1913159280/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3OMZRBZ54XJWN&keywords=barry+ord+clarke&qid=1673510221&sprefix=%2Caps%2C482&sr=8-2

This dude catches his hackle fibers with the whip finish and it ends up looking brilliant…meanwhile, I catch a *single* hackle fiber with my whip finish and it’s total chaos.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Its all to do with luck! Oh and lots of talent.😆

[@brianstevens3858]

I tied one of the Damsel fly nymphs you had on a recent vid with flashy embroidery thread for the body, my brother snagged it out of my box, and wants more. lol

[@Thefeatherbender]

Excellent Brian, then you are doing something right!

[@haraldingemathisen3763]

Først, takk for en nydelig kanal, som færsk 56 år gammel nybeggyner er den blitt veldig viktig for å få til egne fluer, takk! Så ett spm ang denne flua, har du prøvd den på røye? Hilsen Harald Inge Mathisen

[@Thefeatherbender]

Takk, aldri prøver denne på røye!

[@zbigniewkolasinski4627]

Thanks.

[@Flies_the_limit]

Hey feather bender, I know it's not a material used in this video but I'm struggling to find some quality Pheasant tail centers. Any suggestions?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi, I don't know where you are based but this is one of the very best natural material suppliers that are around and they ship: cookshill-flytying.co.uk/feathers-for-herl-and-wings/

[@user-em1fb6xb2u]

Класс! Благодарю за вариант!👍🤝🇰🇿

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

[@3000waterman]

That's a great pattern. Your invention, Barry?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you D, I wouldn't call it my pattern just a variant of an old good one.

[@cachi-7878]

I think the wing is a bit too long, but other than that, really nice pattern.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Yeah maybe, but if you make it much shorter the trout won't see it, and that is a very important factor!
