Dry flies are sometimes formed without particular insect in mind, such type of artificial flies are called fancy or attractor flies, the Wickham's Fancy can be an example attractor or fancy fly. A number of systems can be used while using the dry fly starting with traditional casting using a fly line and tapered leader which turns the fly over through the cast enabling it to softly fall onto the water like a natural fly, stimulating the brownie Trout. Additional techniques used consist of multiple dry fly rigs and dapping. In reality dry fly fishing is probably the oldest form of fly fishing when long poles were used as rods plus fly lines made from horsehair or other natural fibres. These had been the initial dapping flies!
