In southern England, dry fly fishing has actually
obtained an elitist reputation. Accordingly, this is the only legal method of
fishing the rivers of the south like the river test. The history of fly-fishing
tells us that later dry-fly developments were done after it was discovered that
the weeds normally found in the south grow very close to the surface. This
required better fly fishing techniques. But to the horror of dry-fly
enthusiasts, George E.M. Skues wrote two books that greatly influenced
developments of wet fly fishing. The books, "The Way of a Trout With a Fly" and
"Minor Tactics of the Chalk Stream" gave way to wet fly fishing. The history of
fly-fishing, particularly wet fly fishing, dating back early in the
nineteenth-century, was all thanks to W.C. Stewart who published a book called
" The Practical Angler".
During the late nineteenth century, American anglers
like Ray Bergman, used wet flies to fish into streams rich in trout, streams
like Willowemoc Creek and Beaverkill. Dave Botelho has put together a
collection of classic wet flies tied by Umpqua Tier John Kim. There are many
old timers who will use nothing else, for wet flies have paid off for them.
