wet fly
Submerged fishing bait
A wet fly is an artificial fishing fly designed to sink below the water's surface, imitating drowned insects, larvae, or small aquatic creatures.
Unlike dry flies that float on top, wet flies are fished underwater, often swung through currents or allowed to drift and sink.
Traditional wet fly patterns typically feature soft, swept-back hackles and slim profiles that move enticingly in the water.
He tied on a wet fly and cast upstream into the riffle.
