Wet Fly

http://kiwi36.com/   What is the difference between dry fly and wet fly fishing? The single answer is a dry fly floats on the surface of the water and a wet fly sinks. But, of course, there's a bit more to it than that. The dry fly If trout are taking a form of food such as beetles floating on the surface of the water, the logical thing to do is to fish an imitation of a beetle floating on the surface. Beetles aren't good swimmers. So to imitate the beetle in action as well as in looks, the fly must drift freely.
