    Hi Falkirk,

    You and others seem to be talking a very loose interpretation of the term "wet fly" so I will take the same liberties. 1. GRHE 2. Nemes-style soft hackles (they're all pretty much the same) 3. Professor 4. Woolly Worm 5. Beadhead GRHE

    If you mean traditional wet flies my choice would be: 1. Professor 2. Alexandra 3. Dark Hendrickson 4. Coachman 5. Light or Cream Cahill

    I'm sure that others will disagree. 8T
