Surface currents are easy to read making it easy to know where to cast and if trout are feeding on the surface you are able to see them. Fishing with
dry flies is very exciting because you can see the fish strike. It’s easier to know when to set the hook. When your fly disappears, it's time to set the
hook. Bass are known for coming up and missing the bait and then coming back to the surface a second time to suck it in. Many bass are missed
because fishermen will set the hook when they see a fish surface. Instead, wait until your fly disappears, then set the hook.
Dry flies imitate various aquatic insects in their adult stages. When selecting a dry fly, try to match the hatch. While on the water, watch to see what
insects the trout are rising on. These are the insects you want to try to match with your flies. When casting dry flies, avoid casting directly upstream.
Your fly line will actually spook the trout because the line will pass over the fish before the fly. Try casting diagonally upstream so your line doesn’t pass
over the fish. This will keep you from spooking lots of fish.
