First trout I caught on a dry fly that I tied was an ant that sank. I was sitting on bank of the Rapidan River (VA) watching several brook trout while I ate my lunch. I guess they got use to me being there as when I "flipped" the ant fly, as I could hardly call it a roll cast, upstream I watched it drift toward the trout, sink, and then one trout swam up to it, opened its mouth, and took the fly. I set the hook and landed a nice 8" brookie. That was several years ago but is still fresh in my memory as if it had happened yesterday. I enjoy fishing dry flies most and seeing the strike but watching your wet fly taken is such a rare thing that the memories sticks with you.

Good luck,
John
