Re: Dry and Wet Flies
If a fly bounces easily in a cupped palm with no more than a tickling touch on your hand, its a dry. If not, its a nymph, wet, streamer, or maybe a terrestrial (also a dry, but diff't).
Dries are built to float, the others are built to sink.

Re: Dry and Wet Flies
Hi PAFlyMan,
Go to one of the sites that sells flies and they will be listed by the style of fly. Spend some time studying the different fly styles and you will be a pro in no time. Frank
