Default old-time floatant(?)

You seldom see someone using a wet fly nowadays, but.... I still use them and fish them
like a nymph.

Dave


Dave, I worked as a "controller" at the one-fly tournament on Spruce
Creek this spring. On the first day, a woman on the beat next to mine
caught five trout on a wet soft-hackle sulfur. The second day, she
caught five trout in one hour on my beat, using the same fly.

Her team, which she led in points, came in about fourth in the
tournament, out of about 75 teams.

Obviously she knew what she was doing.
