A classic assortment of 12 traditional wet flies featuring four proven patterns for trout. This mixed dozen gives you a versatile selection of Royal Coachman, Alder, Hendrickson and Quill Gordon wet flies.

Description

Traditional wet flies have earned their place in fly fishing for generations, and these patterns remain effective choices for trout throughout the season.

This mixed dozen brings together four established wet-fly patterns selected to cover a variety of fishing situations. From the attractor appeal of the Royal Coachman to the specific mayfly imitations of the Hendrickson and Quill Gordon, this assortment gives you several different presentations to try when fishing below the surface.

Whether you're fishing the Catskills, the Upper Delaware system or your local trout stream, these classic wet flies are useful additions to any traditional fly box.

Why Fish Traditional Wet Flies?

• Four proven patterns: A combination of attractor and natural insect imitations.

• Below-the-surface presentation: Effective when trout are feeding on drifting or emerging insects.

• Versatile assortment: Different profiles and colors help you adjust to changing conditions.

• Classic patterns: Traditional wet flies that continue to produce trout.

How to Fish Them

Fish these patterns on a natural dead drift through riffles, runs and current seams. You can also allow them to swing across the current at the end of the drift, imitating an emerging insect moving toward the surface.

Try changing patterns when trout show interest but refuse your offering. The Royal Coachman provides a contrasting attractor, while the Hendrickson and Quill Gordon are useful choices during their respective mayfly hatches.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tip

Don't overlook wet flies when trout are feeding below the surface. During a mayfly hatch, fish often begin eating emerging insects before the adults are available on top. A traditional wet fly presented just below the surface can be exactly what they're looking for.
