Fly Fishing Flies

There are a number of different types of flies designed to be fished in certain ways.

Dry Fly - A Dry fly is designed to be bouyant, or to float on the surface of the water. Dry flies typically represent the adult form of an aquatic or terrestrial insect. Dry flies are generally considered freshwater flies. Emergers are flies which float in the surface film.

Wet Fly - A Wet fly is designed to sink below the surface of the water. Wet flies have been tied in a wide variety of patterns to represent larva, nymphs, pupa, drowned insects, baitfish and other underwater prey. Wet flies are generally considered freshwater flies.

Nymph - A Nymph fly is designed to resemble the immature form of aquatic insects and small crustaceans. Nymph flies are generally considered freshwater flies.

Emerger- An Emerger fly is designed to resemble the not quite mature hatching aquatic insect as it leaving the water to become an adult insect. Emerger flies are generally considered freshwater trout flies.

Streamer - A Streamer fly is designed to resemble some form of baitfish or other large aquatic prey. Streamer flies may be patterned after both freshwater and saltwater prey species. Streamer flies are a very large and diverse category of flies as streamers are effective for almost any type of gamefish.

Terrestrials - Terrestrial flies are designed to resemble non-aquatic insects, crustaceans and worms that could fall prey to feeding fish after being blown or falling onto the water.
