A dry fly is a type of fly used in fly fishing that is designed to float on the surface of the water. Dry flies are typically used to imitate insects or other natural food sources that are found on the surface of the water, such as mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies. Dry flies are typically tied on a hook with a variety of materials, such as feathers, fur, and synthetic fibers, to create the body, wings, and hackle of the fly. The goal of the dry fly is to create a realistic and convincing imitation of the natural food source that will entice the fish to take the fly. Dry flies are typically used in situations where the fish are actively feeding on the surface, such as during a hatch or in calm and clear water.
