Wake flies are used in both dry and wet loch style fly fishing. The purpose of the wake fly, which is generally tied on the top dropper, is to create a surface disturbance or a wake as the team of flies are dabbled across the surface during the retrieve. Wake flies can be very effective in bringing fish up to the team and often provide just the trigger needed for fish to see the team of flies or to motivate a take.

The beauty of this fly is that once tied with legs if on the day if you decide you want a fly without kegs its easy to snip the legs off. It's also versatile enough, witha little dry fly dressing, to be dry fly. My favourite dressings are blae and black, mallard and claret, green peter and Kate McLaren.{{end}}
