Claret & Mallard Wet Fly
The Claret & Mallard Wet Fly is a very traditional fly and good early on
in the season on still-waters and rivers. Use it when it is not so warm and
perhaps some color in the water. Accredited to William Murdoch of Aberdeen. The
Mallard and Claret Wet Fly is probably the finest all-round Stillwater pattern
you will have in your fly box throughout the year, fished as the top dropper.
WET FLIES A wet fly is designed to be fished below the water's surface. They
are tied as deceivers or attractors.
The success of the wet fly often depends far more on its action in the water
than on its resemblance to a particular insect, but this is not always the case.
When fish are on the feed the actual pattern is generally not important, but
when the fish are preoccupied or need tempting the angler must use ingenuity to
discover what the fish are feeding on and what color they are taking. When
fishing wet flies, it is important to remember that the higher the wave on the
water the higher the fly hook size can be, but still take into account the
brightness and clarity of the water.
Trout do see subsurface insects with wings. Some flies begin to hatch below
the water surface. The Baetis group of up-winged flies swim or crawl beneath the
surface as adult spinners in order to lay eggs. There are occasions when duns
and spent spinners are swamped by the current and forced under the water
surface.
Emerging duns that have been unable to get rid of their nymphal case or at
the time of emerging are drowned when they float under rough water that is
flowing over a large rock or ledge are also hunted by the fish. The trout on
purpose lurk in slack water near eddies and small plunge pools to look out for
these types of snacks. Clearly a trout does see winged insects under the surface
at certain times of the year so be prepared with a selection of different
colored wet flies for when the fish are not taking from the surface.
All flies are tied to our own patterns and to strictest quality
