Wet fly fishing for trout and grayling in the traditional
manner, casting the wet fly down and across the river and letting it
swing is how many anglers start fly fishing, because of that the technique
is often thought simple. However to be a very good wet fly angler is
difficult. Upstream fishing with a team of three spiders teaches you
a lot about the fish and how subtle they can take a fly. Experience
brings a sixth sense, you don't know why you tightened but you did and
the fish was there. Loch flies are also represented below, traditional
patterns, buzzers, damsel, dabbler, claret bumble, bibio, kingfisher
butcher, and daddy long legs. They are mainly for use in lakes and stillwaters.
The version of the wickhams fancy, pearl stoats tail, teal and silver
and of course Ally's Fancy are really sea trout patterns for sea run
brown trout.
