Tying with Woodduck Flank - wet flies
By Bob Petti
|
|
Rolled
wing wet flies such as these are excellent fish catchers
when cast into the cold waters of early season and left
to toss about with the whims of the currents. Not only
are they buggy and attractive on their own, they also
suggest mayflies such as the Quill Gordon which break
free of their nymphal shucks on the stream bottom and
rise to the stream's surface as emerged duns.
