Brand new to fly fishing.
I started off with flies by purchasing a South Bend 50 fly kit. I thought they were all dry flies, but after looking at pictures of dry and wet, I'm no longer so sure.
The hooks seem to be size 12 and 14. Is there some way that I can tell which are dry and which are wet? Some have more hackle than others. Some have dubbing bodies, some have thread bodies. All have tails of various length. Most have little wings, but not all. A few have very fuzzy dubbing bodies with light hackle throughout. None have any metal other than the hook.
Thanks,
Harry
