Hi all,

So I've inherited my grandfather's old fly fishing flies and rod. I'm fairly new to the sport so I'm beyond bafflement when it comes to identifying flies. I've got probably 2 dozen or so flies and a number of what appears to be streamers all in great condition.

My problem is, how can I identify which fly is which. They range in colors from reds, greens, browns, black, etc. Is there some type of general look for certain flies. How can I identify what is a wet fly and what is a dry fly... etc. I've searched the internet and I can't seem to hit the right site. Could someone lead me in the right direction PLEASE and thank you
