The traditional wet fly also has absorbent hackle with a feather wing, although some flies do not have wings and they are used to imitate leeches or
larvae.
Wet flies can used in a variety of ways. Many fishermen prefer using wet flies to fish specific targets such as boulders, logs, pools or other types of
cover. These anglers will cast the fly into a piece of slack water and they will let out line to keep their fly right in the spot they were targeting. By letting
out line, the fly line will drift downstream, but the fly stays in the spot. This is a great technique, but it takes practice to master. The most common
method of using wet flies is drifting. Fishermen use wet flies to cover lots of water by drifting flies all throughout the river or stream. As a bass fishermen
using crankbaits to cover lots of water, fly fishermen use wet flies to cover lots of water and find trout. Wet flies are also effective for deep pools. Using
a lead-core or shooting head will allow the fly to sink faster to get down to deeper water.
