    Default Flies by Author Dave Hughes of "Wet Flies"

    Hi,

    Some interesting flies tied by Dave Hughes - the author of "Wet Flies". These flies are quite small. I believe they are size 16 at the biggest!

    I think they look quite interesting.

    I bought this book about 2 months ago when I starting getting into wet/soft hackle flies. I agree with Dave this is by far one of the best fly tying books I've come across. Really help me learn allot about these style of flies.

    I'm not a wet fly guy, but those flies look more like 'flymphs' and like the flies of Jim Leisenring, then wets. Just sayin.

    They look like Wet Flies to me. Substitute the collar for Partridge, and I would guess even Nemes would have been proud.

    I would sorta guess that the author of Wet Flies who writes on the card of flies "All fur Wet Flies" would pretty well know what a wet fly is. They look like wet flies to me.
