dry fly
A dry fly is a type of artificial fly used in fly fishing, which is designed to float on the surface of the water to mimic a certain type of insect, such as a mayfly, caddisfly or stonefly. The objective is to provoke a fish to strike at the fly. Dry flies are typically coated with a water-resistant substance to keep them from becoming waterlogged and sinking.
