Thank you! So many people just think downstream swinging and you showed so much more. I rarely swing but I fish wet flies often. I also rarely cast to more then one seam and I have found wet flies to be often much more productive during hatches then dries or nymphing. I fish upstream and I need a longer rod to cast up and mend. Then I will then dump the line and bring the wet flies down stream into a single seam and then do a lift at a fishy spot. I also will cast wet flies to pocket water with a long rod and a short cast upstream again. The reason for a softer tip is to help to mend for down stream and also to impart action to a cast of flies of 3 or 4 flies. I will also fish wet flies as an emerger with my point fly being submerged with a light 2mm weight, first dropper being a few inches bellow and my third dropper being on the surface, this works well especially during caddis or ISO hatches. I feel like we have forgotten so much about wets and how veristile they are.

Thanks for putting these out. Wouldn’t have the confidence to make the purchase without your videos. Hoping to fish the grand this spring!
Nice overview of wet fly fishing for many types of fish.
Great as always, Peter.
Great lesson thank’s so much….. just enjoy swing a fly….
Really nice tutorial!!! Thanks for this!!!
Good man. I love fishing wets. It really is great fun and has so many possibilities. Best wishes. :-)
Well presented, as always. Thanks.
He knows his stuff this guy, I'd love to meet him on the river.
Salmon rod it's a spey cast all the best from Scotland tightlines.
Ya, I know, but over here it's a "Spey rod". You don't have to explain the difference, I get it, but a "salmon" rod means nothing over here.
@@hooked4lifeca no need for the cheek I was just saying I feel sorry for your wife if you have one with that attitude.
Not sure how this is for beginners. I'm a beginner and I had no idea what you were talking about most of the time.
What about a sink tip in intermediate
It gets the wet fly just a little bit under the surface, which is good if that's where you want it.
