Wet Fly Fishing Tips & Techniques | Guide Tips 

Glad you enjoyed it!

More to come!

Nymphs are generally fished upstream. Wet flies generally across and down and swung through the current and the strike is usually after the line straightens and the fly comes to the surface.

Glad it helped

Not really. I will fish them just about any time of year, both during hatch activity or as a "search' method during low activity. Also, when a blanket hatch occurs and there are almost too many bugs, a swung fly can often set your presentation apart from the chaos on the surface.

Thank you! Cheers!

Spring or summer are probably the best, but we have also seen them used in fall with great success as well. Anytime there is either a hatch or when food is drifting in the water

@@newflyfisher Thank You!

Great question. You want to remain in contact with the fly but not to the point that it's riding up too high or swinging too fast. It is definitely a "feel the hit" thing. Best advise that I give when I'm teaching this is; after the mend and your fly is in the zone and as soon as you feel the line wanting to move the rod tip, begin moving the rod down stream at the same rate of speed as the current. The line should have some "Hang" but not so much as to lose contact with the fly. (I hope that made sense.)
