Although most flies represent water insects, a terrestrial fly is made to imitate a land insect that has fallen into the water. The two most ecologically common that are imitated for fly fishing are the ant and the grasshopper.
Although there are hundreds of types of flies used for fly fishing, most of them are grouped into five categories or types. These types are dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, streamers and buck tails, and land. The main objective of the fly is to imitate an insect that the fish eat.
A dry fly imitates a natural insect that is floating on the water surface. Fish are very sensitive to any movement of water currents and how they move the insects they want for food. In fly fishing a dry fly, if it is moving even slightly against the current, fish have nothing to do with it. The fly may look like something the fish, but said it is not acting the same an insect would. The fish is recognized as something strange in the water and let it go.
In fly fishing, a wet fly is imitating a natural insect drowned, or drowning, and is fished below the surface water. No one is sure if the wet fly is seen as a drowning adult insect or a nymph from the perspective of the fish. Most fly fishermen today seem believe it is seen as a nymph. Because of this less and less wet flies are being sold. The wet fly fishing is the oldest form of fly fishing. It goes back to descriptions of the ancient people of Macedonia.
A nymph is the stage between egg and adult in the life cycle of an insect. In fly fishing, flies that resemble the nymphs are growing popularity. The nymph fly is just below the water surface. When a fish above water without breaking the surface, is nymphing. This means the fish is eating the natural nymphs just emerging from its shell. This is what nymph fly imitates.
Streamers and flies tail money imitate any part of the insect's life cycle. These types of fly fishing flies are much larger and represent small bait fish, scorpion fish and small. The main difference between theses two types of flies is that streamers are tied with feathers, and Bucktails are linked to the hair completely. Fly fishing that uses these two types of flies generally requires more rod and line manipulation. The movements are supposed to duplicate the movements of small fish.
Moreover of these five basic categories of flies, there are many other types of flies used for fly fishing. Some are a combination of one or more of basic categories and some do not fit into any group. The most important thing to remember is that no matter how the fly looks to you, the fisherman. It is important how is to fly fish.
