Most wet fly bait will sink on its own, quickly and effectively, but a sinker may be added to the line to increase weight if necessary.
Lastly, there is the nymph-style fly fishing bait. Meant to represent the fly 's juvenile state, real-life nymphs frequently match the color and shade of the bottom of a river or lake. So, the artificial nymphs used by most fly fishermen come in drab, mute colors. In essence, nymph bait is just another type of wet bait. It goes underwater and is frequently used in conjunction with
