The Dry Fly

The dry fly is a type of fishing lure designed to imitate insects that land on the water's surface, enticing fish to strike. Crafted to resemble real insects like mayflies or caddisflies, it floats on or just above the water, allowing anglers to target surface-feeding fish. Using a dry fly requires a delicate, controlled cast to keep it buoyant and realistic, making for an engaging and visually appealing fishing experience. It's especially effective in trout fishing and demonstrates skill in mimicry and presentation.
