Dry Fly Vs Wet Fly

For many centuries the big question to angles was, Dry flys vs Wet Flys.Frst thing you need to know is the difference in a wet fly and dry fly. First of all a dry fly floats along the top of the watter and you can see your fly all the time you are fishing. But a wet fly on the other hand sinks about 4 inches under the watter and you cant see the fly while you are fishing.

The fly you will be fishing will depend on the type of watter you are fishing, if you plan to fish fast rough watter you sould use a wet fly. The reason for this is so your fly will get down to the depth of the fish. In many cases you should use a dry fly on calm slow deep watter so you can see the fly the whole time and if a fish makes a move for the fly you can see it because there will be a boil in the water thats why a dry fly is good in still watter so you can see all the action of the fly.

In my experience with fishing the wet fly and dry fly i really love fishing both types. But in my oppion i would have to say i like the dry fly better becasue you get more action out of your fly and can see if a fish moves for your fly at all. also it is really cool to see your fly floating alone the top of the river. but the wet dly has many good points also because you have no idea when the fish is going to take all you feel is a big hit on your fly and the watter boils, then you no you have him on. also when fishing a dry fly you are more lickley not to hook the fish that good because when a fish takes the dry fly you have to set the hook and many people pull the hook to hard and pull it right out of the fishes mouth or not set the hook hard enough and the hook comes loose

So the next time you are out fishing the beautyfull miramichi river and you get a chance to fish wet and dry fly try both types and let me no what you think?
