Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2009 A dry fly is a fly that floats. Wet flies are sub-surface flies, they sink (anywhere from just below the surface to right on the bottom). Depending on the materials and construction, dry flies might need a little help in staying afloat, like some type of floatant. Hope that helps a little.
