Wet Flies for Fresh Water Fly Fishing in Australia

Wet flies are a classic choice for freshwater fly fishing in rivers, lakes and streams. Unlike dry flies that float on the surface, wet flies sink below the water to imitate aquatic insects, emerging bugs, baitfish or other underwater food sources. Many anglers use wet flies to entice fish that are feeding beneath the surface or in deeper water.

Choosing the right wet fly often depends on water conditions, the species you target, and what fish are feeding on at the time. Wet flies can be effective when fish are holding below the surface or feeding in slower water.
