Fly Fishing With A Woolly Bugger Wet Fly Scene Bucket Hat

Flipping a wet fly in a mountain stream involves using a short, controlled cast to place your fly just upstream of your target area. With quick wrist action, you gently “flip” the fly and line out over the water, allowing the current to carry the fly naturally downstream. This method is especially effective in tight quarters, where overhanging branches or rocks limit your casting space, and it helps keep your presentation subtle to avoid spooking fish.
