LOCH STYLE FLIES
ENGLISH WETS
(WET FLY, ATTRACTOR FLY
OR
LOCH STYLE FLY)
This
is more of a class of
flies rather than just a fly.
Most
English Wet flies of
this type were originally tied as imitations of specific species of
mayfly.
In my case I
use this style
of fly when lock style fishing generally as a Top Dropper or Bob
(Middle
Dropper) fly.
