Does it matter

[Byron haugh]

I believe, in some cases it does.There are really only a few things the fisher can control: identify the hatch, read the water for likely feeding spots, make good fly presentations, and use the best fly he has to meet the hatch.The ?best fly? is the one whose size, shape, action, and color most closely resemble the insect which the trout are feeding on. The wing style chosen should be location appropriate. The speed of the water may require a certain style of fly and wing. In slow water,a no hackle fly may be best. In fast water, a heavily hacked upwing may be best.Some insects are best imitated with traditional upwings. Some with a Compara style. Some with duck slips, and still others with a split mallard flank feather.
