Noticed something fishing with tiny small dries,fish took a look and turned back.
Whas very frustrating so tried everything dry but no sucses,then a small wet that whas a bit bigger then the dry fly.
When the wet fly whas in the film or just under they took it without any doubt.
It where just midges dancing above the water and they did rise to take em from the water,happend also with small sedges,the fish did rise to take em but no sucses with dries but when i put on a snipe and purple they took it like a dry fly.
So i dont think that the amount of mass of the hook vs the amount of mass of the pattern will make a difference (or maybe i tie realy bad dries
).
Hooks i use on wets are mostly bigger then i use on dries,dont think fish sees the hook as something "dangerous"or that the immitation is not "right"to the insects hes feeding on.
Also it depends on what materials are used,a bit more hackle(bird
) seems no harm to me,and what insect are you trying to immitate ofcourse.
Dont like tomuch synthetic materials for a body,it doesnt wear of like natural material and a fly that has catched a few fish seems to get better and better even when it looks like it had its best time.
