dry fishing sounds like something you do down the Ally Pally during Ramadan.

I used to tie my own dry flies..plenty of fur/feather down to trap air...so fly floats for an extended period - even while fishing. However, I also use hydrophobic mucilin liquid to the dry fly as well as mucilin paste to the tracer and line.

My speciality was Spey casting (named after the River Spey), where you cast the line sideways in a rolling fashion, so that you can drop the dry fly directly over a rising trout under river bank trees without getting hooked in the tree branches. :)

Anyway, you have two categories dry flies and wet flies.

OMG this is a thread about fishing! I really don't get fishing, unless you eat your catch, watching Huckleberry Finn is about as close to it as I've ever got and watching fishing on telly- I just dont get that- the same as listening to golf on the radio??? However I would like to go out on a big boaty thing- as in the posh ones in the marina not a dingy- anyone got one?
