Creo que en las moscas que pones mjochagavia hay un par que se escapa del conjunto de "wet" o no?? que a mi parecer tratan de imitar la transicion en que el insecto pasa de ninfa, pupa o larva a insecto adulto...
La ultima mosca era un calamar???? no quiero ni pensar en que insecto adulto se transforma eso.. jajaa
Saludos!

mjochagavia,
Thank you for the welcome. Forgive me for not using Spanish - I can read it a little, but cannot write or speak it.
What do classic wet flies represent? Drowned mayflies? Caddis struggling to the surface? Small baitfish? Nymphs? I don't know, but I use them. Of course, sometimes I clip the wing much thinner - the full quill wing "catches" the fisherman, but it is often too wide to ride properly and catch the fish, IMHO.
Are classic wet flies popular in the rivers of Chile?

Don´t worry about your spanish. I Hope you can understand when I write in english.
Wet Flies are one of many stages of some insects. They were replaced by the nymphs. Right now the flyshops on Chile don't sell many kind of Wet Flies, but some old shops still selling some good kind of Wets.
Wet Flies are very used on Chile and Argentina right now. Every time I try to use them, I am totally amazed, because I can fish places where I couldn´t, using others flies like nymph or streamers.
Long time without talking english.
Maybe other user can speak and explain this situation in a better way.

Manuel Jose,
Thank you for your answer, your English is excellent.
I would imagine that sea trout flies would work well in Chile rivers. Sea trout flies are longer in the body than standard classic wet flies, but shorter than streamers. The Alexandra (which has, IIRC, 26 variations) and the Mallard & Claret are especially good on trout up here.

Hi!.. these flies look nice. I haven't fished with this kind of wet flies, I will try them the next season.
I can tell you that the first trout that I caught in my life was with a soft hackle. Soft hackles (and variations) are quite effectives in our rivers.
Thank you for sharing your flies with us!

Thanks again for sharing your flies with us. I have never heard about fishing sea trout with wet flies, maybe because I have never been in that situation.
Maybe is time to take my fishing equipment and my bag and go to the South Patagonia on Argentina... to rivers like "Río Grande" or "Río Gallego", and then.. I'll try those wet flies LOL!.
I'll see if I can get some information about tie some wet flies like "Alexandra" on Google.
Do you usually go fishing in some lakes? Maybe I can tell you some good flies from Chile to try in some lakes.
Regards,
Manuel José

Reed, wet flies were forgotten for many years in this latitudes, and replaced with nimphs, as mjochagavia correctly tell you. Nevertheless, in my opinion they are now reborning among flyfishermen as a good option, specially when you can´t find a pattern that makes the job. As searching patterns, wet flies -specially soft hackles- are quite a good option. Some days, they definitively makes the difference.
