are active.
Wet Flies: Do wet flies sink

How do I make my fly deeper?
Fly:
By watching the sighter, she may control the angle of the line both above and below the water. And she may control the depth of the flies. With streamers and wet flies, the concept is the same. By simply permitting more line under the surface , the flies may sink deeper.
