Nymphs and wet flies are an extremely popular category of fly patterns. They are fished below the water surface and are designed to imitate insects and worms. A wide variety of fish species can be caught using nymphs and wet flies including trout, bass, crappie, sunfish, bluegill, carp, and more. They can be fished on their own, or in combination with a dry fly pattern. One effective technique is tying the nymph or wet fly below a dry fly with 12-24 inches of tippet in between them. The idea is that the dry fly might grab the fish's attention, but then it will take on the subsurface pattern.
