There are plenty of big fish coming out of the larger Stillwaters. I would bet a pound to a pinch of salt they are falling to patterns not dissimilar to this! Larger Humungus style flies create a huge amount of movement with the chain bead eyes and long mobile tails. Generally they are fished on fast sinking lines like DI7 and DI8 and the retrieve is mixed up. The takes when fishing like this can be few and far between but when you get one it may well be the fish of a lifetime!
Have you got the patience for hunting down the big resident fish? Let me know in the comments section below.

Excellent diversification from the Humongous , is that I Lawrence Waldron you are tying from as the head and adjuster distinctly looks like one ,if it is then don't ever let that one go as they are shooting up

We tried this fly last weekend and it performed fantastic here in Utah! Thanks for the pattern.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Great to hear the patterns are doing well Over the pond 👍

[@leemowers9395]

that looks like a great streamer, I suspect that bass and pike will whack that as well especially in water where walleye are present. Very well tied, clean and crisp technically. Excellent, thanks Lindsay

Hi Lindsay would this work with an olive marabou the black would get hammered just wondering if the olive would work just as well as the black and my tying is coming on a bundle now thanks for the tutorials keep them coming thanks Brian.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I don't see why not it's all about the movement.

[@Larkyloyal]
