Davy, I am so glad to hear that you are working on a second Wet Fly Ways DVD!!! I'll email you for the other DVDs. Thanks.

Davy, does your site list the videos you have for sale with current prices? I want to give some as gifts to friends who could use a little Wotton magic in their fishing and tying.

Thank you for a great report with excellent pictures. What a cool reminder of the many varied presentations we fly fishers have, especially when incorporating the wet fly ways into our quiver of...

Reading TPO on this topic is like attending a master class on wet fly fishing. Thanks for the great discussions and great information, all.

Great catch! Those wet flies really produce. The more you learn about them, the better they work.

That wet fly tying DVD helped me to fill my boxes with sturdy, effective, beautiful wet flies. I was a novice fly tyer when I got it and have never looked back.

That should read: To the vise I go...

Thanks Davy and DUBBN! To the vice I go.

That's an impressive carp. Thanks for the link!

I am tying up some of Allen McGee's Transitional Flymphs with a light, pale yellow thorax and substituting yellow wire for the copper. I also have yellow pheasant tail fibers to use, but then it...

That's a good point about videos and books. I'm with you, a book/video combination would be great. I'm second in line for that one. Since Davy can get a little testy when pulled in too many...

Fished for smallmouth today in a small, murky stream with good rock structure. I caught a bunch of smaller (10" or smaller) fish but failed completely when trying to entice the three huge smallmouth...

Davy,

Your advice and recounting of your experience mean more to me than any book. After fishing with you, and seeing the amazing improvement in my catch rate when applying your techniques with...

Great information, Davy. It really helps to hear you explain your approach. Even if the question is too simplistic, your answers always inform. I realize that it would take a large volume to...

I have read on TPO posts that a Wickham's Fancy is a good fly on sunny days. A silver knicker was also mentioned, if I recall correctly. What other wet flies share the sunlight well?

(Of course,...

Great fish. I like the photo with the fish in the water, too. Good juju.

Davy, You've showed me the knots you use to set up your leader system, which works so very well and is so adaptable to fishing conditions. What is the actual name of the knot you use to connect...

Thank you Davy. That explanation helps me to understand what is really going on underwater as I fish.

Waiting to be fished.. no clue if this will catch.

I shouldn't post my patterns here. They look like misfits compared to the great tyers on this site.

Some smaller Olive Soft Hackles that produced very well for me yesterday morning.

DUBBN, ...

I just saw in the "upside down nymphs" thread Davy Wotton's point that underwater observation tells us that most nymphs ride upside down. I wonder if that is true for winged wets?

I have a older Dyna King I think is called a Junior Trekker with a pedestal base. It is a superb vice which does anything I could want it to do for trout and for steelhead here in Ohio, even though...

I was just tying up some silver invictas for an upcoming fishing trip. As I tied in a throat hackle, with the fly upside down, I wondered if anyone fished wet flies with the hook up.
I wonder if...

Thanks Davy! That give me a plan of how to approach the next eddy sheltering a big trout!
