Most Don’t Use These Productive Flies…

This is just one variation of a wet fly I like to fish, particularly in the fall, to represent small emerging insects (Gnat Wet fly). While often overlooked by most modern anglers, these wet flies are quite productive and have been used for centuries. Whether you fish it under an indicator or swing it through the current, I suggest giving it a try. It’s a fun and relaxing way to fish—simply cast it across the current, let it swing, and fish will often hook themselves when taking the fly. These typically fish best when insects are emerging, but they can also trigger bites as fish make quick decisions about whether to go after it, often leading to aggressive takes. Anyway If you have never used these give it a try next time you see some insects emerging. Id also be curious to hear who else is still using these patterns?

Good luck fishing this fall, everyone! If you need flies for the season, you can check out my website for flies here https://www.mainely-outdoors.com/, or submit a custom order so we can get you whatever you’d like, or I can make suggestions here https://www.mainely-outdoors.com/cust...
