got the perfect day, we've got overcast conditions, perfect for the dry fly . What about the flies, though, specifically what would you put on your leader? Point fly , I'd recommend the suspended Buzzer. So he floats in, floaters like that. For the next fly , So this is the middle dropper? The middle dropper, yes. We've got a claret fly , that's like a bobs-bit type of fly . And small wing, he fishes flat in the surface. And top dropper, either an orange hopper or red hopper. Something of that

And fish come up for them as they hit the surface. Dry fly works tremendously well for those. Well I absolutely love dry fly - fishing . But let's just say were scratching a bit. If you're scratching, we've got the world famous blob. This upsets a lot of
