(Or perhaps a floating or half-floating emerger fly, but that’s usually fished just as a dry is usually fished so, really, same thing.) Why would they go with a dry? Because in fishing creeks, they can—trout in most creeks are hungry and consequently aggressive, ready to grab whatever comes along, mayfly dun, stonefly nymph, trout fry, tiny streamer, bead-head nymph, hairy heavily dressed dry fly. If most fly fishers can fish a dry fly and catch plenty of trout, they will, because it’s fun, because the action’s plain to see and delight in, and dry-fly fishing is generally easier and neater than nymph fishing…
