dry fly
Floating fishing lure
A dry fly is an artificial fishing lure designed to float on the water's surface, imitating insects that land or hatch there.
Dry fly fishing requires casting upstream and letting the fly drift naturally, presenting it to trout or other fish feeding on surface insects: He tied on a dry fly as mayflies began hatching.
