ABOUT FLYMPHS
"A wingless artificial fly with a soft, translucent body of fur or wool which blends with the undercolor of the tying silk when wet, utilizing soft hackle fibers easily activated by the currents to give the effect of an insect alive in the water, and strategically cast diagonally upstream or across for the trout to take just below or within a few inches of the surface film."    
​                                                                                                                                                                              -The Art of Tying The Wet Fly and Fishing The Flymph;  J.E. Leisenring, V.S. Hidy, 1971.
