How to tie a dry fly above a wet fly when fly fishing?

+0
−0

Most fly fishing with wet flies is done with just single wet fly and a strike indicator but it's also possible to do it with a dry fly instead of a strike indicator (this lets you do both at the same time).

Sometimes fish will try to eat the strike indicator, and this would let you catch them instead of missing.

How do you tie the dry fly onto the line in place of a strike indicator?

It's actually quite simple.

  1. Tie the dry fly on the end like normal.
  2. Take the wet fly and tie it onto an appropriately sized length of tippet (between 13-24 inches)
  3. Tie the end of tippet with the dry fly to either the bend of the hook on the dry fly or to the eye of the dry fly (if you can get the line through the eye) with the same type of knot.
