Sandfly, will you fish them as a "cast"? I think that's what they used to call them when they had three wet flies swinging in the current?
Did I hear you indicate once that you are on Rt 6 near Ansonia? If so, have you heard if there will be any fish planted in Lyman Lake &/or Lyman Run this year. I stoppe dteh other week to see how it was filling and there were quite a few people doing the same thing.

I'm not sure Jack. I remember as a kid sitting around the barbershop and some of the old regulars would talk about flies and how they fished a bunch at one time and called it a cast of wets. I've heard several discriptions but maybe they had the wrong term for it.
Brace would make more sense than cast. Seems like they already used that word.
I fish two flies at a time and I have all kinds of bad words for things that happen to my tippet.

>>Back in the good ol days when we used spikes and rubberized canvas waders.
Men were men swinging those greenheart and hickory rods and not that sissy bamboo stuff.>>
Yup, at least those who weren't laid low by tuberculosis or were heart attacks waiting to happen due to unchecked gum disease..
These were the days alright...🙂

i would like to make it clear that i was not stocked this year,or any year i can remember.
but seriously,i thought they no longer stocked lyman run due to a native brookie enhancement program.i would guess lyman lake is stocked.
another thing ,i always call a group of wet flies a cast.as in "three flies to a cast."
i have heard some cane rodders use "brace of flies,"as one might say "brace of hounds,"but they're usually being pretentious.
brace usually means a pair ,but some people use it for more than two.i have even heard cane rodders say"a brace of socks."they'll work it into anything,hehe
