Intended to tie for relaxation this afternoon. A flu of sorts is knocking me down. Didn’t get far with the tying of a simple wet fly. The materials are simple and only the tan CDC feather is not shown. The two ply yarn is a simple, thin yarn found at a yarn store in many colors. The wire was dark olive and perhaps a lighter olive was in order to create a better segmentation along the abdomen. Maybe later…right now I am practicing mind control.

A wet fly is generally like a fly escaping the nymph casing that is emerging and unfolding wings right below the surface, about to emerge OR it is a fly that has already emerged and returns to the water’s surface to lay eggs and dives below the surface (caddis). It is a very productive pattern somewhere between a nymph and the dry. Simple to tie and simple to fish.
