Water Boatman trout fly

Description	The Water Boatman trout fly is often overlooked but is still an important fly especially when fishing still waters or targeting fish that are cruising slower moving backwaters on rivers.	Water Boatman Water Boatman Art of Fly Fishing Calendars 1998- 2007 © Michael Scheele
Use	Fish with either a slow sinking or floating line and retrieve with a slow jerky pull to get the legs working. A good strategy is to cast out and leave until a trout cruises by and then begin the retrieve.
Type	Wet fly
