Mosquito Wet Fly

The Mosquito Wet Fly is a classic pattern designed to replicate the larval and pupal stages of the mosquito, as well as the mosquito itself in its submerged form. Unlike the adult mosquito dry fly, the wet version is intended to sink below the surface, imitating the mosquito larvae and pupae that fish frequently feed on. The fly’s subtle movement in the water, paired with its natural coloration, makes it an excellent imitation for trout and other freshwater species in streams, ponds, and lakes where mosquitoes are abundant.

Use a Slow, Controlled Retrieve: The Mosquito Wet Fly should be retrieved slowly to mimic the subtle movements of larvae or pupae swimming in the water. A slow strip or drift allows the fly to stay near the bottom or mid-water column, where fish are likely to find it.
