40 Barbless Wet and Dry Flies Boxed Set, mixed sizes, Best Trout

Dry Fishing flies are probably the most traditional, in most fisherman’s eyes, (although wet fishing goes back much further) The dry fly method is basically deceiving the trout into believing this is their natural food which they readily eat from the surface. Most fly fisherman say it’s the hardest method as opposed to perhaps lure fishing, but I don’t go with that theory. A simple technique of floating the dry fly along the surface means you can see exactly where your fly is and usually you will see the fish approaching. Avoid any drag using this method of fishing as it will look unnatural to the trout, just cast upstream and allow the fly to drift with the current, always cast diagonal to avoid scaring away any fish. Select your dry fly to mimic the insect life around you, matching the hatch is quite easy if you take some time to observe which flies are around and if indeed the trout are rising out of the water to take them. If you do not see the trout rising then it is likely they are feeding subsurface and therefore a different method is required.. Use a lightweight line, fish have good eyesight, a smaller rod for dry fly fishing is preferred as you will not really be making long casts How to describe a wet fly, well perhaps If we said "aquatic insects that move” So it can represent a dead or dying insect or the struggling nymph subsurface. They are usually quite dark in colour and tied sparsely in a simple design. It is fair to say that a majority of traditional wet flies are attractors and do not try to imitate living creatures. Sometimes the only resemblance is colour or shape. Generally, you will fish wet flies close to the bottom so they are designed to sink, a soft hackle will provide the movement. A sinking line is the obvious choice although weights on a floating line can get the same result. Trout can see winged wet flies, baring in mind that flies generally begin to hatch below the surface, its a good time for the trout to strike. The most popular method with wet fly fishing is on droppers offering 2 or more flies at once, this can be done with ready made fly casts which usually incorporate 2 droppers or by making your own, there is no limit to how many you wish to offer at once although be careful of getting your line tangled. If you use different designs at once it is a good way of finding out what the fish are feeding on that day Professionally tied flies, lasting and strong, Chemically sharpened barbless strong hooks
