Dries, wet or all flies?

JT

Dave does this on dries, wets and nymphs, so I'm assuming all flies.
I also read it in one of Whitlock's books I have at home, I'll see if I
can
dig it up again over the weekend. When I saw Dave at the ISE show I
questioned him on this, and he told me it's a very important step before
the presentation to the fish. Makes good sense to me.


I can see it with wet flies and nymphs, but doing so to a freshly dressed
dry fly would seem to defeat the purpose....


I love reading and talking to experts about fishing techniques, and
sometimes it surprises me the little things that these well established
anglers do.

Yes and very true,
