wet flies

[dhchin 0]

This year I have just started getting into tying wet flies. However, it seems there aren't many good resources on the web on this. I hear it's a very productive form of fishing. However, most people are just into fishing dries, second nymphs. Can some of you reccomend some good sites out there for tying and fishing wet flies?

Well, here at FTF we have some of the best wet fly tyers on the planet. We share space with those rowdy streamer tyers, but they won't bite.

The Complete Sportsman site has a collection of some of Don Bastian's flies:

Look at this site:

http://www.dtnicolson.dial.pipex.com/

Donald is constantly updating it. It is excellent.

Also look at Hans' site:

http://www.danica.com/flytier/

There are literally hundreds there.

Fatman is right on about Mike Connor. His vast knowledge of dressing flies, the techniques to use, and their history is incredible. His posts are fascinating reads.
