Much has been written about fishing dry flies, nymphs and lures but far less attention has been paid to wet flies which can, very broadly, be defined as artificial flies used under the water.

As the author clearly demonstrates, wet flies catch trout in spectacular fashion and are as effective today as ever they were in past centuries.

The book outlines four categories of wet flies, describing how to dress them and how to fish them.  Flies such as snipe and purple, orange partridge, rough olive, claret bumble and peter ross are featured within this book alongside many more examples.

The author not only describes how to tie and fish them, but also provides historical background information about them.

Includes 198 colour photographs and diagrams.
