I'm not a fan of the number 6 wet fly for today's trout. Maybe the brookies of yesteryear, maybe bass, maybe bluegill, I don't know. Andy catches fish on them, and I'm not doubting it. But in Europe, where they still fish wet flies all the time for trout, the average size sold has gone from a number 12 to 14, according to a very reputable professional tier over there. The flies are getting smaller overall, not larger. But those number 6s are fun to tie and display, that's for sure, and Andy's flies are works of art. If any #6 could catch a trout, it would be Andy's. Good to see you back posting.
