HEMMIS KILLER
The Hamill's Killer (often known as Hemmis Killer) is a legendary New Zealand fly fishing pattern developed in the 1960s by Bill Hamill. It is primarily a wet fly designed to imitate small baitfish (like the common bully) or large swimming insects like dragonfly and damselfly nymphs.
Key Characteristics
- What it Imitates: Cockabully (small fish), dragonfly nymphs, and aquatic fry.
- Target Species: Highly effective for trout in lakes, dams, and weed beds, as well as bass.
- Design: Traditionally features a body tied with brown or olive materials (like squirrel tail or marabou) and distinct wing feather casings. Some modern variations include a weighted or bead-head.
How to Fish It
- Technique: Cast it close to the banks or into weed beds. Retrieve using a slow, smooth pull followed by short pauses to mimic the motion of a dying minnow or swimming nymph.
- Line Setup: Best fished on an intermediate or sinking line, though it can also be fished on a lighter line near the surface
