It can be one of the most exciting things to see when fishing—and what typically gets newcomers coming back again and again. The reason it is called dry fly fishing is that your fly, in essence, stays “dry” as it floats on the surface.
In this lesson, we will go over the basics of dry fly fishing and how you can utilize the techniques to land MONSTER TROUT.
