Fly fishing patterns have been around since the inception of the sport, and one of the oldest patterns is called a wet fly. The wet fly is fished underwater, most of the time with an action that is either planned or generated by the fisherman. The wet fly is often tied with a little amount of hackle and has a rather thin body.
Comparing a Dry Fly to a Wet Fly and Their Relative Qualities
Wet flies can be of tremendous assistance to novice fly anglers who are just starting out in the process of learning how to cast a fly rod. This is in spite of the fact that many novice fly anglers find aesthetic appeal in using dry flies and view them as a way to differentiate fly fishing from spin-reel fishing.
When you cast a dry fly, the most essential thing you want to accomplish is to make it appear as though the fly has landed convincingly on the surface of the water. If you are unable to do this, it is possible that the fish may never strike because it will be too frightened by the bizarre spectacle it has just seen.
When you're still working on honing your casting technique, it's going to be quite challenging for you to cast a dry fly because of this.
When you cast a wet fly, everything around you shifts and changes. Because the fish you want to catch is probably located deeper in the water, they won't even notice the fly until it has already breached the surface of the water and started sinking.
Because of this, it is not required to make an effort to cast in a "natural" fashion. You can make a lot of mistakes in your casting when you're using a wet fly, and you'll still have a pretty decent chance of getting a fish to strike at it.
