Wet Flies
Wet fishing flies are artificial lures designed to sink and imitate underwater prey like nymphs, larvae, or small baitfish. Constructed with materials like feathers, fur, and synthetic fibers, these flies are crafted to mimic the movement and appearance of aquatic life beneath the water’s surface. Anglers use them to target fish feeding below, employing techniques like drifting or retrieving to entice strikes.
Dry Flies
Dry fishing flies are lightweight, artificial flies designed to float on the surface of the water, mimicking insects like mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies that fish naturally feed on. Crafted from buoyant materials such as feathers, foam, and synthetic fibers, dry flies aim to attract fish by imitating the appearance and movement of real insects.
Nymphs
Nymph fishing flies are specialized artificial lures that imitate the underwater nymph stage of aquatic insects. They are tied using materials like feathers, fur, and synthetic fibers to mimic the natural size, shape, and coloration of nymphs. Often weighted with beads or lead wire, these flies are designed to sink and drift near the bottom of streams, rivers, or lakes, where fish frequently feed. Nymph flies are a key tool in fly fishing, effectively targeting species like trout by matching the diet of sub-surface feeders.
